When erected this marble headstone was on the grave of Henry Sydney Melsom, it later had the addition of a plaque, also in marble, commemorating Emma Annie, the wife of H.J.J.Melsom.
From the iconography, it would appear that Henry died at sea.
Some of the lead lettering has become detatched from the marble leaving only the mounting holes and a ghost image.

for ever on my Saviour's breast."
