One of the many gravestones at the
Minster Churchyard
(Parish Church of St Denys),
Warminster, which have been removed
from their original grave positions
in the old burial ground and are now
propped up against the south side of
the wall between the old burial ground
and the newer burial ground.
This one, features an unusual form
with an inscribed metal plate
inside a stone frame.
The inscribed plate inside the stone frame.
It reads:
“In memory of John Sims P.Pi.G.M.
who died 22nd October 1865,
aged 47 years.”
The wording continues:
“This stone was erected by the Loyal Ark Lodge
Of Odd Fellows M.U
As a sign of esteem and respect for fourteen
years faithful services as secretary
of that society.”
