St James's Church (Leigh Memorial), Longborough
The plaque at the top of the monument reads:
Memoriæ Sacrum The remainder is in latin, a translation of which is available by courtesy of Britain Express - St James, Longborough. William died 1631 and Elizabeth 1664/5. The epitaph records that she was a widow for 34 years, during which her house provided a refuge for the poor, and an ‘asylum to faithful subjects of the King (in most diffuclt times)’ that is, during the Civil War.
