Headstone CH

Photographer: Donald Peacock

Multiple headstones (7). Richardson has a cut with stone missing, although sturdy and not affecting the integrity of the headstone (picture 2). Gibson, last 2 pictures has signs of weathering on the headstone making the writing difficult to see but it is still legible. All require a clean due to lichen.
