I think it's the grave of the Miller Family. All Saints Church, Frindsbury ?

That was a bit of a mission! About five attempts over the last couple of days, in the end a combination of Mr Google, Wikipedia, GSV and finding the optimum level of magnification to be able to guess the name on the monument.
Back soon, need to look encouraging while someone else does some (of my) manual labour

No John, but thanks for the info, I didn't know the Jewish Cemetery had been listed recently. BTW, "Church" not "Synagogue" nor the horrible "PoW" that they put on maps these days. "When I were a lad", PoW meant Prisoner of War!

No takers or guesses in 24 hours? The monument is a grade II listed building in itself. It lies within the churchyard of a grade II* listed church. Oh, and if you look
really
closely, the family name is readable.

Try this one then. I've blanked out the church details, so you can just concentrate on the rather fine (and listed) tomb. Clues (if needed) at slow intervals.

- and that 42m means your feet were 138' above ordinance datum. Close enough?

Just got lucky MartinR, Mrs Stewie and myself often walk along to here from the Riverside Park so recognised it straight away! Will put something up tomorrow morning after I have looked through my pictures though not sure what of yet!
