#1 The grave of John Ashworth (senior) 


Underneath
This Stone are deposited the remains
of John Ashworth the elder, to whose
memory the inscription on the Marble
Tablet in the adjoining chapel is dedicated
He died the 19th Day of January
in the year of our Lord 1800
   
ALSO
the remains of Susannah Ashworth
his wife, who lived to her 80th year
and was not only eminently distinguished
by great natural simplicity and
ingenuousness of character, but by all
those domestic virtues and qualities
which form the chief ornament of a wife
a mother and an affectionate relative.
She died the 8th Day of June
in the year of our Lord 1813
   
ALSO
close to this Stone but nearer to the
chapel, the remains of Susanna
Ashworth the younger, whose death
at the early age of nineteen years
deprived her friends and relations
of all that is lovely, amiable and
endearing in youth and furnished
another sad proof of the uncertainty
of every promised comfort here below.
She died the 18th Day of February
in the year of our Lord 1793
