Robert Snooks 1761-1802
The carved writing on this stone could do with picking out to make it more readable - it says:

ROBERT
SNOOKS
11 MARCH
1802

So, you may think that it should be Snooks' Grave rather than Snook's Grave - well no; the highwayman commemorated here was christened James Blackman Snook in Hungerford, Berkshire on 16th August 1761. See TL0306 : Snook's Grave from London Road for an explanation of the name, and TL0306 : Snook's Grave, Box Moor for information on his crime.
