Moore Memorial

THIN SOURCING - would benefit from someone visiting St Agatha's churchyard to transcribe the ten-line verse directly. Found via a search of Historic England's own listings for the word 'murdered'. The listing records that John Moore junior, a brazier from Gilling, was murdered on the road between Gilling and Richmond near Aske Hall, and that his family tombstone (which also commemorates his parents, both of whom died the same year, 1758, alongside his mother who died five years earlier) carries verse telling his story on its west face. No perpetrator, exact date, or further narrative detail was found beyond the bare listing description - this is one of relatively few entries here where the full inscribed story hasn't been recovered from any source.
