 General Notes:
From "The Ancestry of John Horsfall Lindley"
English translation of inscription (in Latin) nr font in Kirkburton Church
"Barbara, only daughter of the Rev. Mr. Gamaliel Batty and of Barbara his faithful consort, is here interred. She was of pure manners, of an unblemished chastity, of a lively genius, of agreeable beauty, and a fine taste of good learning embellished all her talents and virtues. But they who eminently excel are generally short lived! The last day of the twentieth year of her age was not quite finished, when she resigned her breath on June 7th 1717. How rare an instance of early piety, was. alas in the flower of youth, thus snatched away!"
