Translated as:– Sacred to the memory of Catherine, the deeply regretted wife of George HOLME, D.D., Rector of this Church, the fifth daughter of John LEIGH, Esq., of North Court in the Isle of Wight. She was a truly remarkable woman, adorned with intellectual gifts as well as physical beauty, in whom the fire of continual devotion to God, ready charity towards her neighbour and wifely love for her husband burnt unceasingly. She gave a hundred pounds to increase the value of this Benefice, also eighty pounds to build Headley School; also when dying, she left twenty pounds to the poor, whom she had always assisted in her lifetime. After enduring for more than ten years with wonderful patience the torture of a painful disease, she fell asleep peacefully in the Lord on June the 3rd, A.D. 1760, aged 80. Her husband, deeply mourning, set up this monument, that the memory of her many and great virtues might not quickly perish, and that some record might survive of his own love for his excellent wife.

Translated as:– Here lies William HUGGINS, Esq., first a scholar of Charterhouse, then a Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford. His genius was so happy, quick and versatile that he easily acquired whatever befits a scholar and gentleman. He was versed in well-nigh every branch of literature and made a special study of Italian poetry. He enriched his native language by a faithful translation of the great poet Dante and the inspired songs of Ariosto. In private life he was courteous, polite and witty; in public serious, of proved integrity and most patriotic. Although fit to move in a Court, he lived modestly in the country far from the Court. His life was one of leisure, but his leisure was never without occupation. By his administration of the laws, by composing the differences of neighbours, by helping all according to his means he gained respect as a citizen and a magistrate. He died on July the 3rd, A.D. 1761, aged 65.
