Historic 1699 Gravestone of Tho: Pattison and Wife Jane - Churchyard Memorial #1237246 (License: Personal Use)

This weathered limestone gravestone, dated October 4, 1699, commemorates Thomas Pattison, who died at age 27, and his wife Jane, who passed on January 9, 1721, at age 60; the inscription features archaic spelling and a distinctive scrolled top. The stone shows signs of lichen growth and erosion, typical of centuries-old monuments in temperate climates, and stands on a grassy path beside a mature yew tree. Surrounding headstones suggest this is part of an older section of a historic English parish churchyard, likely dating to the late 1600s or early 1700s.
