Bless her! Have a read..thx Byron Lord This is a marker stone & close up of the inscription on it, located on the A60 Mansfield Road in Nottinghamshire, UK. It commemorates a young girl named Elizabeth Shepherd. On July 7th, 1817, she left her home at Papplewick, and went over to Mansfield to seek for employment. Towards the evening her mother, having gone out to meet her, saw her returning along the road, and, turning back towards Papplewick, she expected that in due course her daughter would overtake her. However, she did not, and upon a search being made, her body was discovered lying on the spot where this memorial is now erected. A hue and cry was raised, and a ne’er-do-well called Charles Rotherham came under suspicion. This suspicion deepened into conviction when it was discovered that he was in possession of a cotton umbrella and a pair of shoes which had been worn by the unfortunate girl and he was duly executed. Since that time, many people have reported seeing a young woman walking along this stretch of road, only for her to vanish in to thin air as they have gotten close to her.
