"Home at last, thy labour done.
Safe and blest, the victory won.
Jordan passed, from pain set free,
Angels now have welcomed thee".

In Affectionate Remembrance of Sarah Ann Clarke,
The beloved Wife of Richard Clarke, of Blakeney,
Who departed this life January 6th, 1913
Aged 80 years,
And was interred at Viney Hill Church,
Forest of Dean,
January 11th.

New Road, Blakeney, Glos.
With the family's kind regards.

John James' card is missing from the scrapbook, but I thought he was buried with his wife, Mary Ann James, who died in 1918 and is buried with her parents, Richard Clarke (d. 1882, recorded as buried at Viney Hill)and the aforementioned Sarah Ann.

I have a photograph of the gravestone somewhere. John died in Cardiff, so there's a possibility that it was just that it said Mary Ann JAMES on the stone along with her parents that made me think he was also there.

There are also two baptisms I would have expected to see, as both boys were born at Box Tree Cottage, both within the same time period where there were burials from the house at Viney Hill. The first is my grandfather, Charles George Lewis, born at Blakeney April 27, 1881, and later his nephew, Wilfred Ernest Cadogan, who was born, I believe, in 1917 (I'd have to find the date) also at Box Tree Cottage. Richard Clarke was buried at Viney Hill in 1882, and Mary Ann James was buried there in 1918, so the family were still affiliated with the church during those times.

I know I was told my Grandfather was baptised at Viney Hill, I am just making that assumption with Wilf.
