This headstone is severely damaged and a significant portion is missing. The headstone appears to have been a square or obelisk spire mounted on three zinc plinths. The lower plinth is simulated stone. the middle plinth has the family name HARDING on one side. The upper plinth has decorative designs on each side. The main spire is missing along with all the details of the names and dates. The top of the spire is sitting on the base and a hole in the top suggests there may have been a vase or other piece attached originally.
