Memorial inscription

there is a stone but it is broken and in a very overgrown part of the churchyard


The 1901 census decribes her as an invalid with a nervous debility. An older cousin has told me that she was told that Alice took to her bed after a supposed affair by her husband to prevent him leaving her. I don't know if this is true, but it worked.
