Subject of much local folklore, this gravestone is located in Monken Hadley Churchyard.

"Apparently, if you run round it 20 times and put your ear to the floor, you hear his horse's hooves running (your heart beat). OR if you put a coin on the top of the grave at midnight a hand comes up and takes it." - James Marshall, Barnet face

Bears the inscription "As I am now, so you must be, prepare in time to follow me."
