The inscription reads
Sacred
To
The Memory of
CHARLOTTE YOUATT
Wife of John Youatt of this
Parish who died Sept 16th.1854
Aged 63 years
The stone had space for an inscription to JohnYouatt but this was not added although John who died in 1861 in Swimbridge was also buried at Landkey
William Youatt stonemason and stone engraver is most likely to have erected and inscribed his mother’s headstone.
