What is recorded here
Graveslab in Cam marks an unnamed death beside the parish church, perhaps from the 17th century. Its plain stone preserves a carved cross and IHS monogram instead of a name, inviting wonder about the person buried there. The chambered cross still points upward, holding identity and faith together beneath an open sky.
At the NE angle of the parish church of Cam (RO048-099001-) is a graveslab (dims 1.8m x 0.67m) which is damaged at one corner and has a raised panel (dims 0.93m x -.59m) against one edge of the stone. This panel has a latin cross (H 0.88m; span 0.38m) created by the excavation of the corner panels. There is no inscription but there is a small cross and an IHS monogram at the crux. It might be 17th century in date.
