bunhill fields cemetery, city road, london
probably a c18 tombstone, though quite fancifully rococo for a non-conformist gravestone of that date. seemingly with two coats of arms held up by two putti. at first I thought there was a stuart connection to the lower clearer shield, with its lion rampant and its checky chief, but there is no clear tressure, and it seems closer to warren of lincoln. of course, without tinctures the family can't be known for sure, though there must be burial records somewhere that could narrow it down.
