'Here lies interred the body of JOHN MADDOCK, who was unfortunately drowned in the River Mersey, February 27th. 1819, aged 35 years. Though stormy blasts on Mersey's waves, have toss'd me to and fro, In calm repose, by Gods decrees, I harbour here below, My body now at anchor lies, My soul no more oppress'd, Has steered its course by love divine and gained the port of rest'
