Information about his original stone: The winged cherub signals the de-skeletonization of the symbols of Puritanism. Eyes replace sockets, the mouth is happier and the wings are more angelic. A crown of righteousness is sometimes added. The cherub’s face is moon-like. Early faces of this period were flat-faced, but later faces were more rounded. Wings resemble dog’s ears and are highly animated. “In memory of…” stones were carved as individual memorials and less of a statement of community beliefs. There was a move towards abstraction – the face is enveloped by wings and hair and flowers are more abstract.
