Brick Structures

During the closing years of the 17th century, brick was so common that it was used in supporting the marble slabs of tombs. In the last will and testament of Francis Page of York County he provided for the erection of a brick structure over his grave of equal height with the tombs, also of brick, covering the remains of his parents.
