A son and infant daughter survived. For a closer look at part of the inscription see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1506955 . A. C. Tait went on to become Archbishop of Canterbury - for biography see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archibald_Campbell_Tait . The grave is situated in the churchyard of St. Michael the Archangel, Stanwix, parts of which are now managed as a wildlife area." Photo by Rose and Trev Clough, 2009. -
