    There is a blacksmith buried in Fedamore Churchyard and on his tombstone that lies over his grave the implements of a blacksmiths forge are cut in the stone and also the following verse

    My bellows too has lost its wind,
    My fire extinguished,
    My forge decayed,
    And on the the earth my vice is laid."
