This is the second chapter on inscriptions. It will address the relationship of
status and font types utilised on headstones in England and Scotland. Based on the
results, Scotland favoured the use of more simplified inscriptions (e.g. one font)
compared to England, that preferred to use two fonts for commemoration. In fact,
English headstones contained a total of four fonts, while in Scotland up to three-font
headstones were recorded. The relationship between location and font numbers
indicated an extremely strong statistical significance.
