What a beautiful place for a cemetery. I can't manage to decipher the second line of the epitaph...

As far as I can make out it says, "The souls of the righteous are in the hands of God, there shall no torment touch them".

Thank you!

I admire your search for & recording of the memorial to this poet. I remember as a teenager systematically searching the cemetery, where a relative happened to be recently buried, for the grave of Ruth Ellis (last woman in England to be hanged) which was rumoured to have been moved there from the jail. I did find it & was prompted to research into the notorious case.

This week we were in Yorkshire & visited many graveyards full of gravestones weathered beyond recognition. It's the natural way of things to decay, but there is a sadness that the simple details of all these people are wearing away & invisible to future browsers of churches & graveyards. We did however manage to visit the gravestone of Anne Bronte in Scarborough in time to read the remaining few fragments of the flaking inscription. Luckily the Bronte Society have placed a durable, if totally different looking, replacement stone nearby.

Pleased your search was rewarded with the find. I enjoy ambling around cemeteries and wondering about the names and their lives.
