Notes about this historic site
1 A lead coffin plaque with a punched inscription in a lettering style that indicates an 18th century date. The inscription is in pseudo-latin. This was found with human bones while digging the foundation of a wall at Arbury Hall. Translation of the inscription might suggest the burial of a suicide and explain the position of the grave away from the normal burial ground.
