reads: "October 21st at Kilton: In the Stokesley Circuit in his 37th
year, Mr William Farndale Junior. He was of an open disposition and of
studious habits. About the year 1815 a revival of the work of God took
place in the neighbourhood where he resided. When he was acquainted with his
condition as a sinner and sought and found the Lord to the joy of his heart. He
then listed himself to the Wesleyan Methodists and became very useful among
them as an exhorter and local preacher. The complaint typhus fever which terminated
his mortal existence, considerably affected his mind, yet when he recollected
he expressed strong confidence in God. JJ"
