Inscription
"__ed to the memory of Captain Alexander Gardiner, 55 Regiment of Foot, who died 18th April 1836 aged 50 yea__."
The first word is probably "erected" but possibly another word such as "sacred", given the context, the last word is most certainly "years".
Gravesite Details
The face of the gravestone is very eroded; a large sheet of it has fractured off. When the photos were taken (2015) the broken piece was propped up against the remaining bit. It's just behind the church, on the left as you face the back of the yard.
