according to her desire - Dersingham Norfolk

"This monument is erected to the memory of Mrs. Margaret Hodgson late of Booters-hall, at Cranworth in this county, where she departed this life the 2d of Dec. 1743, aged 67 years, and according to her own desire lies interred in the same vault with Mrs. Elizabeth Pell".

(Margaret gave 5l. per ann. to this parish, to the church-wardens and overseers, to take care of the vault and monuments, and keep them clean, and in repair, and what overplus annually to be distributed to objects of charity living in the said parish, and charged the estate in Cranworth with it.

Margaret & Elizabeth both lie under the same stone nearby www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/8fUk79 )
