--- "Newcastle Courant" 24 Jul 1736, page 3:
Yesterday a curious fine Monument was erected in the Church at Gosfield in the County of Essex, to the Memory of John Knight, Esq; and his Lady, on which is the following Inscription, viz.
Johanni Knight,
De Gosfield in Com. Essex Armig.
Qui obiit Oct. 2 1733 Aet. 50.
Anna Craggs,
Jacobi Craggs, Regi Georgio I a secretis soror
Memoriae & Amori Sacrum
Conjugi Suo Charissimo H.S.P.
O fairest Pattern to a failing Age,
Whose publick Virtue knew no Party Rage,
Whose private Name all Titles recommend, ----
The pious Son, fond Husband, faithful Friend.
In Manners plain, in Sense alone refin'd,
Good without Snow, and without Weakness kind,
To Reason's equal Dictates ever true,
Calm to resolve, and confidant to pursue.
In Life with every social Grace adorn'd;
In Death by Friendship, Honour, Virtue mourn'd.
