Surname  Swinhoe    
Forename(s)  Catherine Elizabeth    
Year of Death  1820    
Inscription  Here lieth the body of Mrs. Catherine Elizabeth Swinhoe, wife of John Henry Swinhoe, Esq., and daughter of Robert Penny of Weymouth, Dorsetshire, who departed this life 28th June 1820, aged 25 years and 10 months. To a mind highly cultivated and to those ornamental accomplishments valuable to society, the deceased in an eminent degree added unaffected piety. Though formed by education and sweetness of disposition to adorn and add zest to the more brilliant and higher circles of life, she fully proved herself the amiable and dutiful daughter the dear and affectionate wife, the most truly attentive and tender mother, and the ever kind sister. This pillar is erected by her grateful husband, who, as he appreciated her worth while living, will ever cherish the most sincere regard for her memory, and who looks forward with fond and humble hope through the mercy of Providence to a joyful reunion in that world where sorrow is not known.
