18 Sept. 1668 Alice Thornton’s husband, William, was buried #OTD. ‘My dearest heart was interred in his own alley at Stonegrave Church near his mother and two babes, Christopher & Joyce’ (Bk 1). The aisle was levelled in 1863 and most Thornton tombstones were buried. These 15thC effigies remain. 🗃️
