520			_a"In Search of Gravestones Old and Curious" by W. T. Vincent is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the unique and often forgotten art of gravestone inscription and design, highlighting their cultural and historical significance while documenting various examples throughout England, particularly in Kent. The opening of the book introduces us to the author's personal journey as a "Gravestone Rambler" and outlines his goal of encouraging others to join him in exploring churchyards to appreciate the artistry and stories behind old gravestones. Vincent shares his observations during a visit to Newhaven Cemetery, where he encounters intricate gravestones, some with allegorical carvings and inscriptions pointing to the themes of life, death, and resurrection. This sets the tone for a rich exploration of gravestones as windows into the past, with a particular focus on their aesthetic and emotional value, as well as the pressing need for preservation amid their gradual decay.
