We are a lot of headstones dated from 1711 onwards, seema a v specific date but I think I am just remembering those ones. Definitely some from 1710s, butthey would be associated with upper middle classes. Labouring classes only started being able to afford headstones in twentieth century. Credit union I think made them affordable for all.
When did the ordinary people start putting up headstones .I have seen the odd one from 1600s .
