memorial in field stone

I took great care to preserve the lichen which was covering this beautiful field stone, selected from the banks of a river in Northumberland with the owners kind permission. The material proved to be whin stone, a fine grained and very tough basalt - it was remarkably heavy but will retain the inscription for many centuries.
