"The Minister & his Pulpit": Detail from the John Angier stone, 1787.Old Graveyard, E. Bridgewater, MA. Carver: Bildad Washburn.

Most memorials of ministers and other leaders of the clergy feature a large portrait style stone, often in cameo style. This stone is different in that the preacher is portrayed delivering a sermon to his parishioners. Are rare find!
