Inscription

In memory of

John & Henry Davis

Lead miners late of Grassington, but formerly of Foolow, Derbyshire.

John died July 8th 1835, aged 54 years.
Henry died March 17th 1845, aged 61 years

They are both interred in this church yard.

This stone is erected by a friend to commemorate their great musical talent. John had one of the deepest and most extensive bass voices in this kingdom, and Henry was alike celebrated for his clear melodious tenor voice.

Had they lived at this day when musical talent is so much appreciated they would have ranked as first, among the musical celebrities of the present time.

Also Mary relict of the above John Davis who died Oct 29th 1879 aged 84 years.
