Miscellaneous information

Translation of Grave Inscriptions:

Justorum Animae – Anthem composed by Charles Villiers Stanford 1852-1924 Justorum animae in manu Dei sunt et non tanget illos tormentum mortis. The souls of the righteous are in the hands of God and the torment of death shall not touch them. Psalm XXiii-4 RomansViii-38,39 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
