Gravestone in Borthwick Graveyard
This stone was my greatest find in Borthwick Graveyard. I love the small heart with the huge wings at the top as well as the magnificent spirals. The text is also fascinating specially as no names are mentioned there.The text reads (and I've included the spelling as is!):
Imtombed here his corps doth ly
who aged fiftiefour did dy
his wife also & children seuen
their dust are heir. Their souls in heav'n.
There is no date to be found on this stone but I'm making an estimated guess for mid 1700s.
More pictures of my visit to this graveyard can be found here.
