The unusual wording caught my eye: 'The burial place of James Pigg of Bulman Village'. The full text is transcribed in his entry on findagrave.com https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/159092845/james-pigg Bulman Village was the previous name of Gosforth, after Job Bulman (after whom the town's Wetherspoon pub is now named) built Coxlodge Hall in 1796, after making his fortune in India.
