Ted Carless sent in the two photos of the church below and many more which can be seen in a slide show after the Archive photos.
The stone records the date, in Latin script, as DIE - XVI - JUNII - MCMXXXV
Shrigley new boy, John "Eric" Darwell, arriving at Shrigley in September 1947, was surprised and delighted to see that this stone also recorded the date he was born = 16 June 1935!!
