  1. What a beautiful church! I loved all the different headstones - and I agree, that it is nice to have a picture of the person on the stone so people can see what they looked like in the future. Lots of those names look like they are European - Moos is a Dutch name I think, and you have a few Scots/Irish ones there too! I love graveyards - especially the very old ones! Fiona x
