Cathedral Gravestone
This Gravestone took my attention as this lady passed away 200 yrs before I was born, and she dyed at the age of 80, thats some years in that time.

Just found Medumsley - or Medomsley and found this surname. here.

I think the average lifespan at that time was mid-40's, so to live to 80 was remarkable.

yes it is....
WOW... 80yo was incredible back then. They must have thought she was a witch. :oP
That's indeed amazing, but how do they know ? there hasn't been a birth record at that time I think.
Amazing that she lived so long.
Living to 80 back then had to have been VERY unusual...

It is a marvel that the stone is till kept intact and has not been "recycled".
This is truly amazing. What a great find.
