Grace Ensey Dering was the young daughter of Henry Dering and Agnes (or Agness) Dering (Watts). One of Henry and Agnes's grandchildren (Grace Enzey Dering) was named for her.

Her family must have been in comfortable circumstances to have been able to afford what would have been a comparatively expensive monument, with its lengthy inscription.

Inscription


GRACE ENSEY
Dau of
HENRY & AGNESS
DERING
Died May 6 1852
Aged 6 yr 8 ms
Of such is the kingdom of heaven

Sleep, loved one, in thy lowly bed
Beneath the green turf damp and chill.
For blessed are the early dead
Whisper sweet voices soft and still.
