GV II
Headstone. Dated 1808 in memory of John Handcock and members of his family.
Slate. Upright nowy-headed slab standing approximately 1.2 metres high. The
inscription has the first word 'Sacred' written in ornate Gothic letters continued
in upper and lower case Roman serif letters and records the death of John Handcock
(died 1808), his wife Grace (died 1783) and grandchildren (died 1798). The head is
filled with charmingly crude bas-relief carving having a central circle inscribed
with a Biblical quote flanked by relatively crude angel supporters.
