Inscription  Here lyeth interr'd the body of ANNE FOWKE, who after haveing lived with her husband Randall Fowke, near twenty one years : with a character irreproachable, blameless, and unspotted; departed this life on Satturday the 3rd of August 1734, stat 50. Likewise the body of RANDALL FOWKE, who departed this life the 2nd of October 1745 aged 72 years, forty of which spent in the East India Company's service, and many in Council at Fort St George, with the general character of AN HONEST MAN.     
Comment by Rev. Charles Herbert Malden  Mrs Fowkes maiden name was May; they were married Dec 21st 1713. R Fowke acted on several occasions in the absence of a chaplain, in reading service and conducting funerals. The prominance given to the last line of his epitaph shows that probably honesty was not so common as it is now!
