In this Church lies MARY OWTRAM,
Descended from a respectable family,
Once of DRONFIELD in ye County of DERBY.
She from ye first dawnings of reason
Promised ye fair character for wch she was conspicuous;
The Precepts of her SAVIOUR being ye rule of her Life,
Her purity of heart, & piety were unaffected
A disinterested temper,
Sound judgement,
The quickest penetration,
And true female softness,
Unbounded philanthropy,
(But void of weakness)
The tender & chearful nurse,
The judicious adviser,
And the firmest friend
Were most happily united in this excellent woman
She bore ye tedious & painful approaches of Death
With ye fortitude
Of a real Christian,
And resigned her breath in that family
Where she had lived truly respected
By her Master & Mistress
Willm Cartwright Esqr & Anne his Wife;
To whom she had been Housekeeper 45 years & 7 months
Dying August ye 2d 1778
Aged 66

To perpetuate so spotless a Character
This Marble is placed
By those who sincerely lament her Death.
