Hello Kay. Here is part of the inscription for Taylor.
The stone is bad condition and unreadable in most part.

Sacred to the memory of Robert Taylor of Willington, who died  3/June/??? aged 60 years.
Also Anne, wife of the said Robert Taylor, who departed this life  June/??/1860? age 71 years.
The other side of the stone is a little clearer
Likewise to preserve the memory off Mary Ann Mellanby?, grand daughter of Robert and Anne Taylor, who's name is on the other side of this stone?
departed this life January/6/1848? aged 17 years.

There are 4 gravestones at Willington for Taylor that may be usefull?
