She died in London, on the 22nd day of February, 1838
In the 31st year of her age.
Leaving issue five sons and two daughters.
Her afflicted husband caused this Tablet to be erected
To record his irreparable loss,
And in the hope that her children when they read these lines
May call to mind and endeavour to imitate the virtues
of a good and affectionate Mother.
In the same sacred place are laid the remains of her eldest son
EDWARD LEWKENOR
who died at Tunbridge Wells on the 19th day of May 1838
Aged 11 years.

The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
