Default Warkworth Transcription Challenge.

There is a Sarcophagus type grave in Warkworth cemetery (beach road cemetery, not the churchyard) which has me defeated.

Been back for a second look, still none the wiser. The text is a gothic type font.

Our friend Sod and his law comes into play here as the north facing side is clear and legible but is just verse, the south facing side is the one with the details and is of course illegible.

So anyone who is out for a walk in that area and fancies a bit of a transcription challenge take you notebook and pencil and get back to us on here with your results!

And earth's long shadows break in cloudless love.)
