mary watts got many villagers involved with what became a successful business making them. using moulds the seperate units could be assembled in a multitude of ways. Although the original business went bust in 1956 expensive modern copies are now being made there again . plant pots cost £200, so I've no idea how much they charge for grave markers nowadays, though I've spotted one or two in London cemeteries.
