Uppermost name on grave is Isaac Wane Senior "late of Pinkney's Green in the county of Berkshire" who died 1853.
Further down I can see "Mary Harriet Wane daughter of Isaac and Eliza Mary Wane of Red Barn Farm Great Marlow who died 1851 aged 3".
Also of Isaac Wane husband of the above aged 71. I couldn't read his date of death.

Research Notes
Isaac Wane Senior has a death notice in 1854 in a local paper [not 1853 as per the grave date of death. Perhaps they were a bit late putting it in]. He was "of Red Barn Farm" Great Marlow in that notice but originally of Fairford Gloucestershire as per the census. His son Isaac Junior married in 1847 Eliza Mary Brangwin who is on the grave above. Her family ran Barmoor Farm in Marlow.
Isaac Junior had Red Barn by 1851. Both he and his father were still in Fairford in 1841. Isaac Junior was the tenant of Barmoor himself at one point as an advert in the local press in 1882 said he was then giving up his tenancy of it and was selling off some of his farm stock including 5 cart horses. From this advert we can tell that he raised poultry and had crops of hay, rye and wheat there.
Isaac was one of the strongest supports of his church's minister who faced the wrath of some in the congregation for getting married. Please see our post on Thomas Styles, published a few weeks ago on the blog for more on this and Isaac's involvement.
In 1862 Isaac and Eliza's housemaid Sarah Ann Shepherd aged 23 was attacked by an older cowman who worked for the Brangwins at Barmoor. This must have been deeply distressing both for Sarah and for the Wane/ Brangwin family.
Less seriously a gun toting poacher was after hares on Isaac's land in 1876. The gamekeeper who confronted him was threatened with having his brains blown out by the poacher but managed to have him arrested. That gamekeeper worked for Lady Dashwood who was presumably the landowner with retained shooting rights.
Another press advert tells us that an Isaac gave up Red Barn Farm on account of his retirement from farming in 1892 and a new tenant was sought. It is described as a small farm in a lovely location that could be used as a "pleasure farm" as well as a serious concern! This Isaac died in 1903.
