Here lieth the body of
Hannah ye Daughter
of Robert Gilbert who
Departed this life
Decem. ye 4th 1714
Last of the Gilbert memorials that I have so far found in the churchyard in the beautiful village of Swithland. I particularly like the lettering and layout on this headstone.
Curiously, this is one of the very few headstones from this period that I have found on which the word 'body' does not start with a capital letter.
