Memorial in Gloucester Cathedral

Comment

Sacred to the Memory of Sarah Morley, wife of James Morley, Esq., of Bombay in the East Indies, and daughter of Mr James Richardson of Newent in this County. Impelled by a tender and conscientious solicitude to discharge her parental duties in person, she embarked with her family when their health and education required their removal to England and, having sustained the Pain of childbirth at sea, she died a few days after that event on the 25th May 1784 in the twenty ninth year of her age. Of seven children, the issue of her marriage, one son and three daughters survived to lament the untimely loss of an invaluable mother. Her husband erected this monument to testify his grateful and affectionate remembrance of a wife whose exemplary virtues and amiable domestic qualities endeared her to him beyond all that language can express.
