Gravestone Inscription For Henry Edward Prangley And Edwin Prangley At Heytesbury

A gravestone inscription at the churchyard of the Collegiate Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, in Heytesbury, recorded by Danny Howell in the early 1990s:

In Memory of Henry Edward Prangley
Son of John and Anna Mary Prangley
who died Sept 2nd 1828
Aged 6 years.
Also of Edwin their son
Who died in his infancy.

Ere Sun could blight or sorrow fade
Death came with friendly care
The opening Buds to Heaven convey
And bade them blossom there.

Why should we lament that our
Little Ones are crowned with Victory.
