“Blessed are they that (die in the Lord ?”)

Sacred

To the memory of

JAMES ELLACOTT

Of this parish who died the 23rd

Day of January on the year of our

Lord 1814 in the 28th year of his

Age

Just at the blooming age of man

God took me from this wicked land

I left my wife and child so dear

Unto the God of Israel’s care

In whom I trust that God will bless

The widow and the fatherless

Till Jesus comes to raise the just

Then we shall wake with sweet surprise

And in our saviour’s image rise
