Monument
There are three headstones for the Beales Family. They stand on the east of the west path in the north west corner of the parish of All Saints. This headstone which is the most northerly has a foot stone behind. Although customary for inscriptions to face the east most monuments next to a path would have the inscription on the side that was most visible. These monuments are usually visible although ivy always tries to creep over them.
