One of the many 18th century stones here, this one is remarkably legible considering it is more than 250 years old. The inscription reads:"Here lye the Bodies of RICHARD DRAYSON of this Town Carpenter and MARY His Wife She died Jan'y 3 1754 Aged 56 years He died August the 27th 1762 Aged 66 Years". What looks like a very peculiar putto at the top makes a change from the usual skulls.
