Monument

The Headstone in 2023.

This headstone stands facing the west path in the parish of Andrew the Great. Although it may be obscured by bramble or ivy it is not difficult to find as a small path is usually cleared next to it in order to access the war grave behind it. The inscription is very eroded and quite hard to read.

Eliza Johnson ( 20 December 1817 – 11 June 1899)
