Inscription
To the Memory of Mary Morgan
who young and beautiful endowed
with a good understanding and
disposition but unenlightened by the
sacred truths of Christianity become
the victim of sin and shame and
was condemned to an ignomonious
death on the 11th April 1805
for the Murder of her bastard child.
Rousd to a first sense of guilt and
remorse by the eloquent and humane
exertions of her benevolent judge,
Mr Justice Hardinge, she underwent
the sentence of the Law on the
following Thursday with unfeigned
repentance and a furvent hope of
forgivenefs through the merits of a
redeeming intercefsor.
This Stone is erected not merely to
perpetuate the remembrance of a
departed penitent but to remind the
living of the frailty of humannature
when unsupported by Religion
Thomas Bruce Brudenell Bruce Earl of
