GV II Headstone. Dated 1826 and dedicated to Margaret Love Peacock, daughter of the Poet Thomas Love Peacock. Stone. Arched head with end finials. Inscribed with an epitaph in the form of a poem composed by Thomas Love Peacock as follows:-
"Long night succeeds thy little day Oh blighted blossom can it be That this gray stone and grassy clay Have closed out anxious care of thee.
The half-formed words of liveliest thought That spoke a mind beyond thy years The song the dance by nature caught The sunny smile the transient tears.
The symmetry of face and form The age with light and life replete The little heart so fondly warm The voice so musically sweet.
The saddest to in memory of Around the hearts that loved the cling She leaving with long and regret The in promise of thy spring".
Listed for historical interest.
