    1. [LIN] head stone
    2. J & B.H. Stegeman
    3. Can someone please help me. I have a photo of a head stone in Kirmington Grave yard. It is Thomas Quickfall who was the under butler at the Manor house, stone reads Here lies inturned the body of Thomas Quickfall who died 24 Jan 1815 Age 71 years Some by blazon'd shields shine, Backwards trace the ancient line, Heaps of -------- Raise, (next line I cant read) Let -------- their pomp & stare, of merit void ignobly great, One truth o'er their remains below, Inscribed more honour will bestow, Than lineage wealth or grandour can, Here lies interred an honest man. (at the bottom is W Frit???) Can anyone fill in the gaps for me please. Thomas is supposed to be mentioned also on the Brocklesby family memorial ? Bev at Bribie Island
