Some gravestones don't need to be read to know what the man did for a living.
Sometimes when walking around a graveyard you come across a headstone that tells it's story without words.
The grave is for Charles Copnall who lived from 1869 to 1935 and his wife Emily (1879- 1941.) and he would have been the village blacksmith.
The lettering on the grave is made up of lead, pressed into the stone but some of the letters are now missing. A search around the gravestone could possibly turn up some of those missing letters so they could be returned into their position.
This is an unusual stone marker and stands out in the graveyard.
That is so unique and so very cool. I love how the moss has grown on it, just the visual...
the moss seemed to thrive in some parts of the graveyard and was starting to cover a number of graves.
Oh yeah
I can not miss out on his occupation. I can see the hammer
Lol
Are they others like that there?
All the others are normal headstones and crosses.
Ok
Thanks
It's funny that i see your post now as i just today was looking at pictures i took in Canada on a small graveyard. I was so amazed that you can see what they did in their lifes on the headstones.
That looks a far better kept graveyard although it looks far more modern than the one I visited.
This one was so well maintained that it looked unreal and of course far more modern but the idea is the same :)
good post n good picture
Well never though of it that way !
Buddy nice of you to get the story in front of us !
After all we will be at that place someday !
