Ann Webster - Scraptoft

Ann the
Daughter of Tho
Webster she departed
this life the 15th of
May in ye 22 Year of
her age 1699


Though this stone dates from the 17th Century, the angel design appealed to me, so I have included it here. I also like the way the letters have been squeezed in. I'm assuming that Tho is short for Thomas.

This is one of the stones tucked away on the edge of Scraptoft Churchyard. You may need to clear away vegetation to find it. Watch out for the stinging nettles.
