head type as represented in his effigy ; judging by 

 this he seems likely to have been a very plain man 

 for such a beauty as Dorothy to elope with. Their 

 son (who is represented on another tomb opposite) 

 has a similarly shaped head, but he married a lady 

 with an intellectually developed cranium, and their 

 offspring (six) who kneel " in dumb oratory " are all 

 possessed of improved -shaped skulls three really

 John's type. 



In the same church are many stone coffins of an 

 early period (Eoman and Sax on), and others broken 

 up and built into the walls as rubble stones. There 

 are also inscribed monoliths of a still earlier time 

 runic, experts say, and certainly there is an ancient 

 inscribed runic cross in the churchyard. These 

 remains carry the mind back to prehistoric eras ; 

 but what is that interval compared with aeons of 

 the formation of this earth, as demonstrated by 

 geologists ?
