Rev Henry Ewbank
Matching triple plinths with plain crosses on north and south sides of vaulted area. Lead lettering.
Joining the two plinths is a low rectangular kerbed area, now overgrown, which contains no memorial so may have been a flower bed.
There is also a brass memorial plaque to Rev. Henry Ewbank in St John's Church, Ryde.
Revised March 2019 - Cross on south side of plot is broken just below the horizontal bar and the top portion is leaning against its plinth. The cross on north side has been taken down and laid flat in front of its plinth. Lettering quite weathered in places and difficult to read. The whole burial area is covered with thick grass and moss.
Although mentioned on the memorial, Alice Caroline Ewbank was born, died and was buried in Brighton, source: Registrars and Newspaper records
Sarah Lydia was not interred within the vault but is in plot 353 behind
An earlier burial for Kitty Hooper (1877) was also in plot 353, source: Bereavement Services records
