"She died December 20th 1813 in the 23rd year of her age leaving a daughter, who at her baptism received the name of her dear mother and soon after followed her into a better world, aged 15 days. Short was our dream of bliss! Oh that each future night Were bidden with her angel form to bless my sight, To renovate the tender accents of her tongue And lead us, as in life, from the giddy throng. Thus comforted my soul might brave the tedious days And bear with life thus chequered while it stays. In testimony of his deep affliction, the above-named Edmund Craster caused this monument to be placed here having consigned the earthly remains of these his treasures to his family vault in Embleton Church."
