A memorial stone from the city centre church graveyard of All Saints Church Goodramgate.

Goodramgate

Wet streets and windy days, still we are forecast a sunny day today. Here's hoping we have seen the last of the rain for a few days.

A Message of Hope

This wonderful old stone is a grave marker from the churchyard of Holy Trinity in Goodramgate. Nowadays it is usually the relatives of the deceased who choose the wording on the gravestone. This appears to have been chosen by the deceased himself with the intention of leaving a comforting and hopeful message to his wife.
Go Home Dear Wife, and shed no Tears,
I must lie here til Christ appears;
And, at his Coming, hope to have
A Joyful Rising from the Grave.
