Sir John Harpur Bart | 24/06/1711 | 63 | 1648 | first name on monument | Here Lies The Body Of. In his Character were happily united; the true Patriot , the tender Husband , the indulgent Parent , the worthy Gentleman , and the sincere Friend. The World Pay'd this uncommon Regard to the greatest good Nature and Humanity , that he liv'd and died almost without an Enemy |
Right Honourable Thomas Crew Lord | father-in-law of John Harpur | Lord Crew of Stene in the County of Northampton. | |||
Catherine Harpur | wife of John Harpur | Youngest Daughter. Survived Husband Three Years and Six Months and lies interred in the same Grave. She was a Lady of so rare a Disposition , that it is hard to say in w'ch of the Duties of Life she excell'd the most; She was eminent in every One: In the Profession of Religion she was Steady , in the Practice of it Exemplary. She look'd upon her Birth and Station , not meerly as Marks of Distinction; but as Spurs to the Noblest Actions She thought Earthly Greatness receive'd it's fairest Lustre from Virtue and Piety. Though she was plac'd far above want herself; yet Affluence cou'd never abate her Humanity: She had the most Merciful Feeling for the Distresses of Others; She made the Miseries of her Fellow Creatures her Own. The Poor found in her a sure Patroness , the Orphan a never-failing Friend. Thus they both liv'd; happy in each Other , an Ornament to religion , an Honour to their Country a Believing to this Place , equally belov'd; and their Loss was universally lamented. |
