These two headstones in St Mark's churchyard are a matching pair belonging to the Barnwells, but whereas one is discoloured and difficult to read the other is perfectly clear. Joseph Barnwell died in 1908, but his wife Alice lived to the age of 84, dying in 1943. Their four sons, William, Charles, Harry and Frederick also lie here; they all died in wartime although only in the case of Harry is action specifically mentioned. There is no reference to the sons having any children so it seems unlikely that anybody remembers the family now.
