'I was told by caretaker that there were relatives of Judge 
BALL [Ex-Lord Chancellor] buried here, but scarcely think 
that either of these are connected with him.  The latter has 
"Clark"; this might be parish clerk, but did not hear of any 
so called; but did hear of a former clergyman of the parish 
called BALL.'

*On old stones the I in a name is J.
