NNNINGTON. 



" calmness and resignation in her last moments, 

 " which are the exclusive indications of a virtuous 

 " mind, and afford the only consolation to a nu- 

 6( merousj circle of relatives and friends, to whom 

 " her simplicity of manners, and amiable disposi- 

 " tion will long render her early death, a subject 

 u of melancholy recollection." The emblem of a 

 lily broken from its stem, placed under this inscrip- 

 tion, tenderly and expressively characterises the 

 purity of her life, and her untimely death. 



Another monument, to the memory of Thomas 

 Jackson, "who concluded here a life worn out in 

 " the services of his friends, being well-known for 

 " his extraordinary performances on the turf; " evin- 

 ces more the gratitude of his employers, at whose 

 expense it was erected, than either classical taste 

 in its composition, or propriety in its inscription. 

 . On the marble slab, over his grave in the aisle, 

 are these words, " Thomas Jackson, born at 

 " Thornton-in-the-Street, near Thirsk, was bred 

 " at Black-hambleton, and crowned with laurels 

 " at New Market: he died worn out in the services 

 " of his friends, aged 62." 



These inscriptions excited the indignation, and 

 strongly expressed disapprobation of the late arch- 

 bishop of Dublin, Dr. Eusebius Cleaver, when on 

 a visit to his relative, the late Edward Cleaver, 

 Esq., of the hall ; and it seems difficult to account 

 for their appearance in this church, otherwise than 

 by admitting the correctness of the current report, 

 that they were placed there without the permission, 

 or knowledge of the rector.
