Summary
| Description |
English: Nine year old John Archdeacon (1811-1820) was murdered in June 1820 and the lettering on his gravestone is now quite difficult to decipher. The epitaph reads:- Here lies an only darling Boy, Who was his widow'd Mother's joy, Her grief and sad affliction prove How tenderly she did him love. In childish play he teased a mule Which rag'd its owners angry soul, And thro' whose cruel blows and spleen The Child so soon a Corpse was seen. This Mother now is left to mourn The loss of her beloved son. Tho' sighs and tears will prove invain She hopes in Heaven to meet again. |
