Here lies interred the dreadfully bruised and lacerated bodies of WILLIAM BRADBURY and THOMAS his son, both of Greenfield, who were together savagely murdered, in an unusually horrible manner, on Monday night, April 2nd, 1832, old William being 84, and Thomas 46 years old. Throughout the land, wherever news is read, Intelligence of their sad death has spread; Those now who talk of far-fam'd Greenfield's hills Will think of Bill i' Jacks and Tom o' Bills. Such interest did their tragic end excite That, ere they were removed from human sight, Thousands upon thousands daily came to see The bloody scene of the catastrophe. One house, one business, and one bed, And one most shocking death they had; One funeral came, one inquest pass'd, And now one grave they have at last. The following on a Hull character is from South Cave churchyard:-- In memory of THOMAS SCATCHARD, Who dy'd rich in friends, Dec. 10, 1809. Aged 58 years. That Ann lov'd Tom, is very true, Perhaps you'll say, what's that to you. Who e'er thou art, remember this, Tom lov'd Ann, 'twas that made bliss. In Welton churchyard, near Hull, the next curious inscription appears on an old gravestone:-- Here lieth He ould JEREMY, who hath eight times maried been, but now in his ould Age, he lies in his cage, under The gras so Green, which JEREMIAH SIMPSON departed this life in the 84 yeare of his age, in the year of our Lord 1719. Mr. J. Potter Briscoe favours us with an account of a famous local character, and a copy of his epitaph. According to Mr. Briscoe, Vincent Eyre was by trade a needle-maker, and was a firm and consistent Tory in politics, taking an active interest in all the party struggles of the period. His good nature and honesty made him popular among the poor classes, with whom he chiefly associated. A commendable trait in his character is worthy of special mention, namely, that, notwithstanding frequent temptations, he spurned to take a bribe from any one. In the year 1727 an election for a Member of Parliament took place, and all the ardour of Vin's nature was at once aroused in the interests of his favourite party. The Tory candidate, Mr. Borlase Warren, was opposed by Mr. John Plumtree, the Whig nominee, and, in the heat of the excitement, Vin emphatically declared that he should not mind dying immediately if the Tories gained the victory. Strange to relate, such an event actually occurred, for when the contest and the "chairing" of the victor was over, he fell down dead with joy, September 6th, 1727. The epitaph upon him is as follows:--
