Translation of the Latin: In sacred memory of JENKYN NEWDEGATE, youngest child of GEORGE NEWDEGATE and SARAH his wife, who shortly after he was admitted to Trinity College, Oxford, suffered from smallpox disease, and gave up his life, mourned by his dear mother and friends, oh inexpressible grief. He died 8th June 1740 aged 18.
