A Faithful Servant On The Bishopstrow Estate

A gravestone in St. Aldhelm’s Churchyard, Bishopstrow,
photographed by Danny Howell
on the afternoon of Tuesday 10th April 2012.

Only the first five lines of the inscription survive:

William Willett,
of Bishopstrow,
Died 10th March 1895, aged 57.
He was for many years a faithful
servant on the Bishopstrow Estate.

The rest of William Willett’s epitaph is now missing,
the stonework having weathered and fallen off.
