TOMBSTONE TUESDAY: Interesting tombstones from around the world

The following is in the Necropolis, Glasgow

Here lyes Bessy Bell
But whereabouts I cannot tell.

From Montrose churchyard

Here lies the bodeys of George Young and Isbel Guthrie,
and all their posterity for fifty years backwards. November, 1757

From Nettlebed churchyard, Oxfordshire

Here lies father, and mother, and sister, and I:
We all died within the space of one short year:
They were all buried at Wimble except I,
And I be buried here.

At Fosbrooke, Northumberland

Here lieth Matthew Hollingshead,
Who died from cold caught in his head.
It brought on fever and rheumatiz,
Which ended me – for here I is.
