INSCRIPTION

Time how short - Eternity how long

In Memory of
an affectionate wife, a tender mother
and a sincere friend
SARAH
wife of John Inch of this parish
who exchanged this life for eternity
in the 70th year of her age
on the 3rd day of October 1842

Farewell affliction, grief and pain
Welcome eternal bliss
Thank God I ne're shall live again
in such a world as this

How lov'd how valu'd once, avails thee not;
to whom is related or by whom begot
a heap of dust alone remains of thee
'tis all thou art and all the proud shall be

Any abuse of this information will not be tolerated and could lead to the withdrawal of this information from the web site. E&OE : Errors are bound to happen, despite the greatest care being taken and in some cases it is difficult to determine the surname of the deceased, complicated by the frequent use of family surnames within the forenames and the total omission in other cases, but they are all there, somewhere!!
