TO THE
MEMORY OF
JAMES BASLEY
who died the 28th
Day of March 1768
Aged 44 Years.
My life was short my ffaith was bad
And with much praising and whailing.
Few knew the care I underwent.
That to few could give concent.
They that say I us'd them ill.
I hope will find a better still.
For I strove all lay in my Brest.
I hope with Christ my soul will rest.
(Stonemason: John Laughton, Cleeve)
