Sophia Cracroft’s lost inscription at Kensal Green Cemetery. The late afternoon sun reveals the deeper holes that anchored the letters.
I gave up with one word remaining, “ATTACHED”, in the 1st line. I sent it to Alison, and she figured it out by finding that 1st of the 6 lines happens to be recorded at a Canadian archive.
The two long words of the bible verse seem questionable; I picked the King James verse that fit best.
