A stone with scalloped top, badly weathered:

Beneath
this stone are
deposited the remains of
Joseph,
son of Mr Jenkin HAGUE of
Biddenden, Kent,
and
Sarah his wife.
He died at the early aged of 20,
Novr 24th 1813,
having conducted himself
in all instances
as a dutiful son to his parents,
and an example of
good morals
to those of his own age.
His afflicted mother
erects this stone
to commemorate his worth,
and her own great and premature
loss
of an affectionate child.
