What does "relict" mean on gravestones? published by Jude on Thu, 25/01/2024 - 14:11

Having read the recently published Abbots Leigh memorials I was surprised to see some of the inscriptions. They were certainly not what I would want on memorials for my family! My question relates to the word "relict" which appears on some of the older graves. Can anyone explain what it means? Jude
