The church is on the left with a square tower (right); on the right are conventional trees. The three central tombstones in the foreground are those of Burke (left), North (a), and Fox (right). On Burke's is inscribed, "Here Lieth Edd Burke Oeconomist Extraordinary to his Majesty. To Save his breath He welcom'd death." On North's is "Here Lieth L------d N-----H. I'm gone to realms below, To find more Cause for woe". On that of Fox is "Here Lieth C------s F---x, The game I have play'd, I have lost by a Spade, My partner was wrong For he shuffl'd to long". In the foreground on the extreme left is a flat stone inscribed, "Here Lieth G------l C-----y [Conway] So fickle in his pliant mind He for a Change his life resignd".

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
