The cutlass stone

[Click on the picture and it will pop up in a smaller window but larger]

Today we have been in Leigh on Sea for various reasons. At the church there Maddie_C noticed this rather interesting gravestone with an unusual inscription. Having done some research it seems that the grave itself is called ‘the cutlass stone’, the story being that cutlasses were sharpened on it in times past. It would be fascinating it find out more about Mary Ellis, but that is not something I have been able to do.
