    Notes:

    Ralph Thrale left a family bible in which he wrote simple stanza's such as :

    Ralph Thrale, his book,
    Good save him grace wherin to look,
    Not only look but understand,
    That learning is better than health or land,
    For when house and land is gone and spent,
    Then learning is most excellent.

    Buried:
    Ralph Thrale died in 1852, and the villagers gave him a wonderful burial. The family brick vault was opened, but William Archer the sexton only received four shillings for taking out the earth and clearing it away. The coffin was covered by the best pall. William Paul was the undertaker. The main items of the bill were the coffin, costing seven guineas, and the hire of hearse and coach, five pounds ten shillings. Among other items, Mr. Paul provided nineteen pairs of gloves varying in price from half-a-crown to one shilling a pair, and twenty black armbands. The entire bill came to £24, which in those days would have kept a labourer's family for seven months.
