Additional details
References: 
Fleetwood Berry (1912 A), 7 gives this inscription with some minor differences. He gives the date of death as "13 of Dec 1822 aged 7 months." He also supplies the word "Verse” at the end of the Ins.. From his list it would seem that this stone may have been outside c. 1912.

Notes: 

This is a relatively small R.S. reused as paving in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel. The stone is fissured in many places sometimes making the Inc'd. Ins. unclear.
