Bradford Degeneration Correct but not Politically Correct

The gravestone of (I think) Henry Lund the one-time vicar(?)* at Low Moor who served 28 years before his death on 14 February 1699 (Now 24th February I believe following a change in calendar around 1752). If anyone can confirm my assumption I'd be grateful if they'd contact me or post a comment either confirming or correcting me as necessary.

Some indication of the event he lived though can be seen in this timeline

I'm sure there are americans who would pay fortunes to see such a piece of history yet it lies neglected (although not quite as neglected as those non-clergy whose gravestones are used for paving in the same churchyard) in a backwater of Bradford.

It has been pointed out to me that a curate would hardly serve for 28 years and that "cure" probably means vicar using the old reference to the job as "cure of souls"
