Grave of William Prior (c1814-1860) and family: close up of inscription Happened to spot this grave when visiting the church for bell ringing; didn't use a tripod - could have been clearer. Inscription:In memory of William Prior of this Parish who died April 7th 1860, aged 46 years. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. Also Frances Ann, wife of the above who died October 14th 1902 aged 80 years Also Caroline Second daughter of the said William Prior and Frances Ann his wife who died March 1st 1860 in the 12th year of her age Also Elizabeth their third daughter who died March 1st 1860 in the 9th year of her age They were lovely and pleasant in their lives and in their death they were not divided. The first quote is from the Bible, Revelation 14.13. The second quote is not quite directly from the Bible, but is based on 2 Samuel 1:23 "Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided ..." It is not unusual on gravestones, perhaps more often referring to married couples. It may have become popular following Catherine Winkworths translation, published in 1871, of 'In Memoriam: "They Were Lovely and Pleasant in Their Lives, and in Death They Were Not Divided." ' by Nicolaus Ludwig Graf von Zinzendorf. The stone appears to have been erected after the death of Frances in 1902. |
