Hidden in the overgrown tree covered natural woodland of Dovenby Hall estate is a meorial to Frances Gunson.  During the 30 years we have lived in Dovenby I have visited this quiet ancient woodland and paid my respect to the person mentioned here and to the people who erected this memorial.

The inscription states: By all who love piety, meekness and gentleness. Let this stone be ever held sacred and preserved, in rememberance of Anne Frances Gunson. She was recalled by Him who gave her at the early age of fifteen. Her short life was adorned by innocence and every virtue, and her death was deeply mourned, for she was in truth a pious Christian daughter. Born August 29th 1822. Died July 24th 1837. Inter’d July 29th at St John’s Chapel Edinburgh.
