footstone
R. Knowles

The footstone was found June 2007 standing alone about 30' away. It was aligned and reset behind the headstone. The headstone inscription which now mostly is missing is based on the 1976 survey. The remaining fragment of inscription allows identification of the headstone.

LOCATION - No. SE 30 on EHS 1976 survey map
MATERIAL - slate
HEADSTONE - 16" W, 30" H, 2" D
FOOTSTONE - 12" W, 11" H, 1" D
CONDITION - Most of headstone face has delaminated.
COMMENTS - Headstone cleaned, bonded and reset in 2000. Footstone found, cleaned and reset June 2007. In October 2007 mortar was applied to the exposed edge of the inscription surface. This prevents water penetration which would cause more surface delamination.
