Some years ago walks were cut through the ground, and flights of steps erected to facilitate some steep ascents. Unfortunately, some fine old monuments were displaced during this operation, and the slabs of the tombs were used as flags to construct the steps.
Some curious inscriptions,
which we vaguely remember, have been thus irrecoverably lost, and among others one beginning, " Here lie the bodis of my 2 grandmothers, maiden names, Fox and Chubb." The author of the inscription gave no clue to his own name, and no date.
