Robert Coleborne

Here Lyeth ye Body of
Robert Coleborne
who departed this life the
27th day of April Anno
Dom. 1732 Aged 63 Years
 
After a short but sharpe affliction here
I take my leave of you my wife so Dear
Lo here I lie in this soft bedof dust
Waiting the Ressurection of the Just


A large and beautifully laid out headstone with regular lettering. But it seems the word 'short' was initially spelled without the 't' which was added afterwards in superscript.

All Saints Churchyard, Newtown Linford.
