Sacred to the memory of Jane the beloved wife of William Ashe esquire of St James Square in the City of Bristol who departed this life on the 21st day of February 1845 aged 70 years.
"There is a world of peace and light where heavenly angels dwell.
Into that world so pure and bright, I yield ye love - farewell
And with a calm and settled wind I'll sail o'er life's rough sea
Still hoping when my days shall end, to dwell again with thee."
Underneath this stone is all that was mortal of William Ashe esquire. He was a man of strong natural understanding and great mechanical genius. He died at Saint James Square in the City of Bristol on the 1st day of September 1850 aged 69 years.
