The village of Swithland was supposed to be my destination today, but roadworks and a possible detour of several miles triggered a change of plan. It was by chance then that I came to the delightful village of Woodhouse and the 15th Century church of St Mary-In-The-Elms.
Lucy Patchet's headstone was bathed in sunshine.
here
lieth Interr'd the Body of
Lucy Daughter of
JOHN & ANNE PATCHET
She departed this Life
June the 5th: 1760
Aged Eleven Weeks
This pretty Babe is gone to Rest
With those who liv'd and dy'd ye Best
