Inscription

George Shirley, grieving and sorrowing, set up this monument and has ordained that with her, to whom when living he was united in wedlock in the hope of children, he be invited in the tomb in death in the hope of resurrection.

Death, which ultimately tore thee from my bed
And robbed my home
Shall one day give me back with thee to Wed
In this thy tomb.
