Peter Colthurst

  Noted events in his life were:

• source. Mary-Ann Cook who writes:
Peter was buried on the 16th June 1741 at the Brook Street Chapel in Knutsford, Cheshire.
This Stone covers the Remains
of Peter Colthurst of Sandlebridge
who died June 16th MDCCXLI
Aged 72
And of Elizabeth his wife
who died June 15 MDCCXL
Aged 74
In his mind were assembled
all the Virtues which rendered Him
happy in himself useful to the world
an Ornament to human Nature
She was truly worthy of such an Husband
In all Goodness a kind Assistant
and generous Rival
Their lives were stained with no dishonour
but Piety and universal Benevolence
recommended them to the Friendship
of the Wise and Good
And these valued them more
who knew them best
The bad avoided Them
exept they wanted Relief.
