Hidden Entrance!

This impressive memorial is in my local graveyard. It commemorates many members of the Smith family. I think there must be a very large vault underneath as someone has cleared away the grass to reveal part of the entrance stone (photo 3, below). You can just read Entrance to and the word Smith. I am tempted to peel back the turf to reveal all the words, but wonder whether I should?

I think I will but like all things, it is a matter of big choices that have to be made. Do I just go in and do it or go in at night in camouflage (and probably be arrested for alleged body snatching!

Doing it at night would be far too spooky.....
