Hello Shirley There are very few outdoor gravestones anywhere for such an early date and those which survive inside churches will only be for the more important (richer) families. I can tell you that there is no known gravestone for your LUTER (or variations) ancestors at the Old St Chad's Church in Shrewsbury.
