Here rests in the hope of eternal life, what was mortal of John Brunton, who lived 78 years, and died 16th of October in the year of the Lord 1811. Also in hope of seeing God who favour from their youth they both had assiduously implored are here entombed the remains of his honest wife Ann Finlay, who lived nearly 83 years, and died 19th February in the year of the Lord 1812.
