HERE LYES INTER._d BODY OF _mrS. MARTHA WAITE WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE NOV._br 28TH 1735 IN y_e 71st YEAR
- Surveyed On
- September 1, 2015
- Stone Type
- slate
- Tympanum
- skull
- Border
- This stone was damaged before it's placement into its granite frame. I believe artwork from all four sides were lost. We can see what the borders may have looked like from the panel underneath the tympanum and above the tablet. The images are in a biradial design and probably were in the other panels too.
- Remark
- The tympanum of this stone was severely cut off on all sides but grossly so on the top. We can make out the bottom of an early rendition of a skull along with the bottom of some wings.
- Physical Status
- straight cracked
- Intelligibility
- readable with difficulty, broken images or writing
- Biological Contaminants
- medium incursion
