The top part? Nope -- virtually the whole thing survives, but in several parts. (Maybe someone who has the booklet can confirm?) Full publication should be in this year's Britannia if you can wait till December.

Hi

Yes, confirmed- the whole thing is original. The booklet is excellent by the way and very cheap- £5- lots of pictures of other Reiter gravestones, including the similar Ribchester cavalryman.

Great that it is now on display. Must get to there soon! Big Grin
