Blank Headstones - Newtown Linford

All Saints in Newtown Linford has many 17th and 18th Century headstones, some of them quite unusual. The church is easy to find, being right next to the Bradgate Park car park.

I was particularly interested to see two headstones topped with skull and crossbones design, but with no inscription below. I'm sure someone must know the meaning of this. If so, please write in and let me know.

No inscription means no date. However, the size, shape and type of stone look closer to the Eighteenth Century graves than those from the Nineteenth Century.
