Three jobs to be done at Ross last Sunday

Whether it rained or not, my mind was made up to do three things:

1. To dig around the bases of headstones in the burial ground, looking for the stonemason’s signature, particularly Dan Herbert’s.

2. To site the first St John’s Church, using a photograph in Hawley Stancombe’s booklet on the Parish of Ross.

3. Knock on the door of the cottage that is purported to have belonged to Dan Herbert at 2 Badajos St, to determine if my memory of the back yard with sheds was correct.
