PRECIOUS


For a few generations the PRECIOUS/OXLEY/LANGHORN families were close - in life and in death.

There are adjacent, well-preserved, Memorials in the North Featherstone Cemetery.

One for William & Sarah (nee OXLEY) LANGHORN [photo], and an adjacent memorial for

John & Eliza (nee OXLEY) PRECIOUS.  Both memorials were made by stone-masons called OXLEY!
