Thumb	Description	Status	Location	Name (Died/Buried)
	Edward Carter - a close up of the inscription Sacred To the Memory of Edward Carter who departed this life the 8th. of February 1835 Aged 83 years.	Located		Edward CARTER (d. 8 Feb 1835)
	John Vogwill From the verse of the Bible chosen to form part of the inscription on John's grave one might imagine his life was cutshort - but as the rest of the inscription shows, he actually made it to about 90. Sacred to The Memory of Iohn Vogwill who died January 13 1845 aged 90 years. So soon passeth it away and we are gone Psalm 90 and 10th Verse.	Located		John VOGWELL (d. 13 Jan 1845)
	Mary Vogwill need Attwill: close up of the inscription From the words chosen for Mary's grave it sounds as though she may have suffered much: The winter of trouble is past. The storms of affliction are o'er: Her struggle is ended at last. And sorrow and Death are no more.	Located		Mary ATTWILL (d. 29 May 1829)
	The grave of Edward Carter From the position of the inscription it looks as though it was planned that another be added. Perhaps the expectation was that his wife would be buried with him. Although she was buried at Whitchurch, there is no indication that it was with Edward. Perhaps her children decided she should be buried with her first husband, their father.	Located		Edward CARTER (d. 8 Feb 1835)
	The grave of Mary Vogwill (nee Attwill) The second wife of John Vogwill, no room was left to add him to this gravestone, and he was buried alongside. Whether or not this was with or near his first wife and mother of the 3 of his children who survived him I don't know.	Located		Mary ATTWILL (d. 29 May 1829)
