Description

The gravestone of Louisa, Marchioness of Waterford, is located approximately 10 yards west of the Church of St. Michael. It was created in 1891 by G.F. Watts and features a cross. At the back, there are two kneeling angels, about 4 feet high, holding a shield and a wreath displaying the Waterford arms. The base of this sculpture has an inscription that reads:

"For certain he hath seen all perfectness who among other ladies hath seen her. She walked with humbleness for her array. She was a creature sent from heaven to stay. Dante."

In front of the angels, there is a recumbent Celtic cross resting on four low walls. The arms of the cross are adorned with angels, and the center features a maze. The shaft of the cross is inscribed with the following:

"In loving memory of Louisa Ann, Widow of Henry, 3rd Marchioness of Waterford, Daughter of Lord Stuart de Rothesay. Born 1818. Died at Ford where for many years she lived honoured and beloved by all May 12th 1891."
