Slate tablet to left of door when entering the church. In Memory of RALPH WHELDON ALLEN Son of SAMUEL and ANN ALLEN Who departed this life the 31st of December 1799 Aged 17 years A sprightly youth endowed with manly sense Till God on high thought fit to call him hence Duteous he was loved by his friends sincere But now in sacred dust lies mouldering here Ah! cruel death how could thou thus destroy At once a fathers hope a mothers joy: But may he rise where joy supreme is given To mingle with the blessed saints in Heaven |
