This was a sad story... The owner of the headstone was came form my hometown: Xinhui. The headtone shows owner's information, including where he came from, when he born and dead. The limitied information shown that he only live 33 years old, form 1956-1989, and he have became a father before he dead. I can image that he came here and try to living for a good time, however, he never enjoy The Bliss of Family, which makes me sad.

Usually spelled "cack-handed". There's a long tradition the the right hand was the "clean" hand used for feeding and the like whilst the left was used for cleaning up your, well, cack. If you use toilets in Egypt you'll find a little valve on the right hand side of the bowl that directs a spray upwards, you use your left to clean. No-one would ever touch food with their left (however well washed), it's incredibly dirty and bad manners. So, someone whose dominant hand is their left is "cack-handed", and since left-handers are often portrayed as clumsy, there's your explanation. This prejudice seems universal, to the Romans the right was "dexter", think dexterous, clever, able whilst the left was "sinister".

I think the bridge is an aqueduct that carries the Langsett Trunk Main 33" water pipe across the Little Don. See map below and zoom:
