"Thomas Denton de Warnell. Arm / In Artibus Mt Et dignae Memoriae / Octaginta Expletis An~. Faeliciter / Obiit i die Aprilis Ao Dn~i 1616" "Per Me / AD wife / Molliter ossa cubant.

Qth B [E]" "Cumbria Warnellum THomam Deplorat Ademptum / Dento Qui Siquidem Deltaton Alter Erat / Nempe Pius Sapiens Ex Omni Parte Quadratus / Qualem Vix Hodie Scecula Nost[r]a Ferunt" (taken 22.8.2014)  
"Thomas Denton of Warnell. Armiger, Master of Arts and of worthy memory having completed eighty happy years, died 1st April AD 1616."
"By me / AD wife / The bones lie softly. May the mind live golden in Olympus. May the lineage live forever dear to God. Quoth B[E]."
"Cumbria bewails the snatching off of Thomas Denton / Since this Denton was indeed another Deltaton, / Without doubt pious, wise and complete in every part, / Such a man as our ages scarcely bring today"

BTS41.jpg  Memorial to Jospeh Relph, vicar, schoolmaster, poet, died 1743.
(taken 22.10.2010)  
"Sacred to the memory of the Rev Mr Joseph Relph, whose character was marked by such great learning and such radiance of spirit and holiness of manners that he could have worthily and illustriously held and ornamented any office in the Church. It seemed good to God that it should be otherwise. He therefore willingly took to himself and steadfastly discharged the humbler parts (perhaps not at all less useful!) of schoolmaster and priest in this very church. Friend of the Muse, he happily sang of rural customs like another Theocritus. Do not complain, Reader, of the briefness of Life! See - the ages of men are short if their years should be counted; but most long if on the contrary you look at deeds and virtues. This man indeed, to everyone's great sorrow, but truly to his own greatest advantage, died before he could compplete his 32nd year, on 26th June AD 1743. So that fame of virtue should survive, The Rev Jonathan Boucher alone, being neither relative nor pupil, placed this monument in 1794."
