Summary

Description
English: Mural monument in Teigngrace Church, Devon, to Mary Parlby (1725-1784), wife of James I Templer (1722–1782) of Stover House, Teigngrace. Inscribed as follows:
"Sacred to the memory of Mrs Mary Templer for a period of thirty five years the affectionate wife and of two years the afflicted widow of James Templer Esq. The duties of every relation which Providence assigned her she strictly and chearfully [sic] discharged. A faithful partner in all the vicissitudes of life she participated his pleasure she divided and mitigated his pain. Her discretion was his resource in difficulty, her tenderness his consolation in distress. That animated sense of duty to her Creator and fellow creatures, that prudence temper'd with generosity and good humour, which threw a lustre and dignity on her own life, she inculcated by precept and example on her numerous progeny. The efficacy of such virtue was not restrained to the narrow sphere of parental and conjugal duty; her piety was diffuse and exemplary, her charity universal. To her domestics she was a gentle mistress, a condescending friend. They who possess'd her confidence never failed to partake her bounty; To the poor her liberality had no bounds; when she saw distress whatever shape it assumed, then she saw an occasion to pity and to relieve. Having thus performed the part of a good matron and a pious Christian, mature in virtues as in years, when ye tenderest tie which bound her to this Earth was dissolv'd, she readily resigned that being of which ye better part was extinct, and amid the embraces of her sorrowing children expired on the twenty first of June 1784 aged 59 years".
