Here Lyeth the body of
Thomas Page who depart
ed this life January the 25th
Anno Dom.1714
Aged 47 years.
Here I lye sleeping in the dust
until the rising of the just
Till ye time that Christ shall say
arise my saints & come away
The sun was hiding around the side of the church when I visited Scraptoft, leaving this beautiful headstone in shadow. Not ideal lighting for photography. I've done my best to increase the contrast, but the image is still rather flat. Click on the picture for a larger view to see the detail of the squeezed-in lettering.
