You say he was the incumbent, so I checked an old edition of Crockford's Clerical Directory to see if it was among the abbreviations used there. It wasn't - the nearest was M.M. for Military Medal.

If you can give us his name, maybe we could find something in his career that it might relate to.
Researching among others:
Bartle, Bilton, Bingley, Campbell, Craven, Emmott, Harcourt, Hirst, Kellet(t), Kennedy,
Meaburn, Mennile/Meynell, Metcalf(e), Palliser, Robinson, Rutter, Shipley, Stow, Wilkinson

... but it can't be that as it was founded in 1971!

I must admit to having lost the actual gravestone now. I know more or less where it is, it is just the narrowing it down. I have been back walking the dog two or three times over the seasons holidays, all to no avail. It is a well orderly cemetery, so looking it up should be easy, but.....!!!

This is purely a bit of self indulgence really, but it piqued my interest, now I am embarrassed. Thanks all who have replied, but I now need to re-find the stone, write the details down and go from there. This now becomes an obsession to the extent that I am wearing the poor dogs legs down. ;D
