This stone is on the right of the entrance porch and after some family history research I believe that part of the inscription reads: THIS CORNER STONE was laid by Miss Adeline Mary Gregson Ellis. The word 'Mary' is very clear, with a large space before 'Mary', so the name could not be that of her elder brother 'Richard George Gregson Ellis', who was the Lieutenant of the 1st Denbighshire Volunteer Corps., neither could it have been that of their mother, Mary Gregson Ellis, who died in 1888. Unfortunately the rest of the inscription, which probably includes the date, is so worn as to be illegible. See also: Image and Image
