"This Monument | the tribute of love and gratitude | is
erected | to the memory of | Mrs. ARABELLA TOTTENHAM | the
dearly beloved wife of | PONSONBY TOTTENHAM, Esq., M.P. |
late of Rosegarland in the Co. of Wexford } who after a
painful illness of two years | which she bore with angelic
fortitude | and the most Christian patience and resignation
| Died at Clifton in the County of Gloucester | on the
second day of August 1806 | Aged fifty years.  |Most amiable
in her disposition.  |  She alone seemed unconscious of
those merits | which ensured to her the affections of her
friends | and the esteem of all | who had the happiness of
knowing her.  | The disease to which she fell a victim |
added luster to the virtures of her mind | and the
submassive piety which prepared | her way to Heaven | is a
sublime example of the duty of resignation | to her
afflicted husband." _____
