The art of the rest of the stone is exemplary, but the treatment of the text puts it over the top.
Hartwell's first name seems to have been Isaac.

Thanks for this. For a long time his name was unknown to scholars.
And very little is still known about him at all apart from his home town, and his surviving work.
Speaking of which, the stone to the right is a double urn and willow which he signed. It looks every bit as good as this, except bigger and, well, double.~
