Thomas Batt Grave

 

Little Marlow grave of Thomas Batt. Two lines follow which I could not read. At parish church.

Then it says Thomas Batt died 23rd May 1874 aged 54.

Thomas was the steward for the Wethered agricultural estates round about Marlow, under Owen Wethered. He came from a similar role in Hampshire. He resided at Old House Farm followed by Hill Farm and then moved to become steward to the Little Marlow Manor estate for J P Ellames. Ellames subsequently paid for his funeral. Widow Ann would spend the last 8 years of her life in the Oxford Road almshouses in Marlow, dying 1898 age 86.
