Master, Thomas

In Latin: Here is buried Thomas Master, fourth son of Legh Master, Esq. in the county of Lancaster, and of Margaret his wife; scholar of this place, who, after a time spent pursuing his career so near at hand, in dying failed to fulfil the hopes that you had, not without reason, entertained of him. Born 3rd Dec. 1723, he died 15th Dec. 1742. [Translation courtesy of Westminster Abbey website.]
