Shoemakers epitaph in Alston Moor Churchyard:

My cutting-board's to pieces split,
My size-stick "will no measures mete,
My rotten last's turn'd into holes,
My blunted knife cuts no more soles.

My hammer's head's flown from the haft,
No more Saint Mondays with the craft ;
My nippers, pincers, stirrup, and rag,
And all my kit have got the bag,
My lapstone's broke, my colour's o'er,

My gum-glass froze, my paste's no more,
My heels sew'd on, my pegs are driven, —
I hope I'm on the road to heaven !


Bakewell: recording the passing on of aunts and uncles,

Elizabeth Burgess wife of Francis Eyre Britt
John wagstaff and wife Mary Burgess
