In memory
of John Tyson
Of the Queens' College, Cambridge, Bachelor of Arts,
Who, for thirty years, of this parish
Was priest vicar.
Born on the thirtieth day of December in the Year of Our Lord 1805
Died on the ninth day of February, 1867

Here, having set aside the garb of mortal life, there takes his rest
A man who had in his heart a precious faith from Christ.
A true gentleman, he learned to succour all who grieved,
Nor would he have it that a needy man should go sorrowing from his door.

(The original Latin is in the form of two elegiac couplets.)
