Killed by lightning while at prayer
Headstone set into wall of former abbey charnel house, Bury St Edmunds.
"Here lies Interred the Body of
MARY HASELTON
A Young Maiden of this Town.
Born of Roman Catholic Parents
And Virtuously brought up.
Who being in the Act of Prayer
Repeating Her Vespers,
Was instantaneously killed by a flash of lightning August the 16th 1786,
Aged 9 Years."
