Townsend graves, North Kilworth Churchyard
Townsend graves, North Kilworth Churchyard
These four substantial gravestones, close to the church door, commemorate members of the Townsend family. The first one belongs to Ann 'wife of William Townsend' who died in 1856 aged 51. Next to that is William's grave; he outlived his wife dying in 1875 at the age of 75 'after a long and painful illness borne with much patience and rectitude'. The third in the line is less legible but it is possible to discern that it is the grave of Mary 'wife of John Townsend' who died in 1866. Lastly there is Sarah Jane Townsend who died in 1900 aged 77.
