REV. ISAAC COLNETT,_The Every-day Book and Table Book. v. 3 (of 3) Everlasting Calerdar of Popular Amusements, Sports, Pastimes, Ceremonies, Manners, Customs and Events, Incident to Each of the Three Hundred and Sixty-five Days, in past and Present Times; Forming a Complete History of the Year, Month, and Seasons, and a Perpetual Key to the Almanac

Fifteen years curate of this Parish,

Died March 1, 1801--Aged 43 years.

Shall pride a heap of sculptured marble raise,

Some worthless, unmourn’d, titled fool to praise,

And shall we not by one poor gravestone show

Where pious, worthy Colnett sleeps below?

Surely common decency, if they are deficient in antiquarian feeling,

should induce the inhabitants of Waltham Cross to take some measures, if

not to restore, at least to preserve from further decay and dilapidation

the remains of that beautiful monument of conjugal affection, the cross

erected by Edward I. It is now in a sad disgraceful state.
