This broken headstone probably had a circular Celtic cross on top. It is located Unser bushes a few metres south of the south path just before you reach the central path. The carved inscription is very eroded.

Emma Randall (23 September 1799 – 10 February 1885)
Emma was the daughter of John and Maria and was baptised at Mill Street Independent Chapel, Wincanton on 22 November 1799. In 1851 she was living with her nephew John Markby in Middleton, Suffolk. John was a farmer and Emma acted as his housekeeper. In 1861 she was lodging with the Collier family at 53 Panton Street, and was recorded as being an annuitant. When the census was taken in 1871 she was staying with Elizabeth Markby (thought to be John’s widow) at 10 Regent Street. She died at 44 Panton Street aged 85 years old and her funeral took place on Valentine’s Day 1885.
