INSCRIPTION ON THE MAIN STONE READS AS FOLLOWS:
"To the memory of Catherine HAYES, daughter of John CRIPPEN, who departed this life November 4th, 1790 aged 77 years.
Ah me, oh transient life! Humbled to dust. Thus cold and lifeless lies a human form. Once the dear child, fond mother, friend sincere. Lo here the ghastly King of Terror reigns in regal pomp where very stones can pace about.
Also to the memory of William Roy GROOMBRIDGE who departed this life April 26th 1791 aged 9 months."
The smaller stone reads C H 1790 W R G 1791
