The Meetjesland in the north of East-Flanders, Belgium

In memoriam

Hier vooren ligt tot spyse der wormen den zeer Eerweerden Carolus Jacobus de Bouck...
Here in front of this lies, feed for the worms, the very Reverend Carolus Jacobus de Bouck...

If nothing is done very soon this slab will lie here in front of this in a hundred pieces and
another bit of our heritage will have disappeared forever.
Picture taken on 15 September 2011.

And below a picture of 3/9/2023:
the stone slab is still there and in one piece but so much of the text has eroded away.
