The oldest headstone in Harlton churchyard commemorates Henry Page who died in 1717.
The headstone, which has recently been straightened, includes carvings of skulls, hour-glasses, coffins, bones and grave-digging tools.
The inscription reads:
Here lieth ye body of Henry Page
who died April ye first 1717
aged 71 years
All you good people
that here pass by
as you are now
so once was I
As I am now
so shall you be
Therefore prepare
to follow me |
