if you pause and look closely at the very base of these historic stones, right where the marble meets the earth, you will often find a second story written in a quiet, unassuming script, the names of the men who actually carved these monuments: Gadsby & Sharman of Stratford, Scott of Galt, and local artisans from Tavistock. These are the signatures of the craftsmen; the monument makers who quite literally carved the history of each County into permanent record.
