EPITAPHS

(i) Here lies Melissa Mary Thorn Together with her son, still-born; Whose loss her husband doth lament. He has a large estate in Kent. (ii) After long thirty years re-met I, William Clarke, and I, Jeanette His wife, lie side by side once more; But quieter than we lay before. (iii) A widowed mother reared this stone To Annott Clare, aged twenty-one. Seven live sons have I, but she Was dearer than them all to me. (iv) Here lies the body of Tom Fool, Who died, a little boy, at school Oft did he bleed and oft did weep, And whimpering, now has fallen asleep. (v) John Bird, a labourer, lies here, Who served the earth for sixty years With spade and mattock, drill and plough; But never found it kind till now.
