This really stood out to me, from all the others because of the story it tells
It towered above others in the graveyard, and as it was for a Stone Mason, I wonder if the reason it had pride of place in the cemetery was due to the fact
that he might have been involved in the building of the church and the statues and monuments inside it, made of marble and other stones.
