While we were visiting
Exile #4 a week ago and walking in the cemetery, these three stones caught our eye:
In particular, why - although they seemed to be a group - one was so different and bore just the enigmatic phrase, "THE INN - OF A TRAVELLER - ON HER WAY - TO - JERUSALEM"
I was curious enough to see if the back of the stone had any explanation and found that it was the gravestone of Mr. Green's first wife:
Still, it leaves me wondering if this unusual stone was chosen for her before it became clear that he would be buried side-by-side with his second wife. It seems, perhaps, somewhat appropriate then for her back to be turned, but presumably that was not the order that things happened unless the stone was replaced later.
