I see it as.

Sacred
To the memory of
David Evans

who died Nov 5th 1873/5
aged 78 years.


If you know the parish and cannot get there ask if some one can go along and take another photo.
I am sure we would all be interested to know.

Is it my eyes or are there another four lines of italic writing on the lower half of the headstone ?
