Hi Pete, I think that stone and the following two must have been paid for by the Newton Hall Widdrington/Cook dynasty, as they seem to conform and are about the same age:



Here were interred the mortal remains of James Robinson, who after six months lingering illness borne with exemplary patience, died at Newton Hall Oct 10th 1835, in the 21st year of his age, and in the domestic service of the Revd Joseph Cook, to which he entered in his 13th year.

As a just tribute of respect due to his memory, it is proper to record that his excellent conduct in his station, as well from his steady and faithful attention to every duty committed to him, as from his well regulated disposition, he gained the esteem and respect not only of his four surviving brothers, but of his attached employer and of every one who knew him.









Here were interred the Mortal remains of Mr. John Tate, who after upwards of eleven years zealous and faithful service as Butler to the Revd Jos Cook, died at Newton Hall June 12, 1833 aged 54, Deepley lamented by his surviving relatives, and deservedly respected by all who knew him.
