Here lies...

...the body of poor Frank Ray
Parish clerk and gravestone cutter
And it is right to let you know
What Frank for others used to do
Is now for Frank done by Another.

This is one of the gravestones which form the floor of Selby Abbey - I don't like to walk on them but really they're unavoidable! Poor Frank has been dead for 307 years, and his is not the oldest stone in the Abbey. Flippin' amazing eh.
