Jonathan Appell, a conservator of monuments, works on conserving and stabilizing the "knight's tomb" in the memorial church at Jamestown. The tombstone likely belonged to Sir George Yeardley, an early Jamestown leader, who was buried in the town in 1627. The tomb had been moved from it's original location at sometime in the colonial period, and then rediscovered in the early 20th century when the church was rebuilt.
