If anyone lives near Swanscombe and is handy with a camera, would they possibly take a photo of a gravestone for me the next time they are in the area?
It's of James Moss, bricklayer, and his son William. The grave reference is 151 and it's near the road.
This is the churchyard plan made by a man called Leland Duncan, which shows its position.

If anyone could help it would be amazing. Thank you so much in advance.

Hello
I live just down the road from the Church, so I took a walk up there. Unfortunately although the edge of the Grave is still visible, the headstone is missing.
I did take a photo but for some reason I cannot get it to upload.
Regards

Hello Kookiedee,
That is so very kind of you. I wonder what happened to to the stone? What a shame. If you ever get the photo to upload I would love to see it. Or I think there is a way to post privately, but I'm not sure how.
Anyway, I'm glad of one thing. If I had managed to sort out a trip to the church and then not found a stone I would have been so, so disappointed and your kindness has at least saved me that! So I hope you don't feel it was wasted time.
Very many thanks again for taking the toruble.
Best wishes,
Christmassy
