Re: It rained!
An opheclide (or however you spell it) is a musical instrument. It's on top of the monument with a sort of cloth draped over it. I always used to wonder what it was when I went past as a child and then a teacher told me. Apparently someone in the grave used to play one.
That date does look like 1825 doesn't it, but if you look again it can also look like 1823. Beneath it there is a 5 which isn't the same shape. I'm now curious to know what the correct date is.
If you look where I've traced over the two numbers you'll maybe see what I mean.
