    • --- Gestingthorpe Monument (Translation of Latin Inscription):
      "Near this place are deposited the remains of John Elliston Esquire.
      He died on the 22nd day of January in the year of our Lord 1741 (aged 55).
      He knew how to gain and to keep friends.
      He adorned a life spent in a laudable and virtuous retirement with integrity of mind and simplicity of manners.
      His probity and firmness rendered him bravely superior to the envy and rage of the times.
      He died lamented by his friends and by all good men."
