The obelisk is approximately 13 feet and with the stone socle, it rises just over 20 feet in this old churchyard. From what I could read, there are four members of the Barnsley family buried here at this marker. The obelisk can be found on the left side to the rear of the church. It is made of polished marble. The majority of the residents under this obelisk were born in the early 19th century.
