George Graham and family

This is a large pillar shaped grave obelisk dedicated to George Graham and his family. There are inscriptions on all 4 sides of the pillar and it wasn't easy to establish the right order in which to read them, but here is what I think is all of it from the beginning. The pillar is close to the side of the graveyard facing the village green.
