Hi there We also have this for Rawstorne http://www.bwrogerthorpemanor.co.uk/uploads/HISTORY%20OF%20ROGERTHORPE%20MANOR%20HOTEL.pdf By the late 1700's a Colonel Edward Rawstorne resided at Rogerthorpe Manor and his daughter, Elizabeth Jane Rawstorne has a memorial in St Anne's Chapel at Badsworth church. In the late C18 Colonel Edward Rawstorne resided with his family at Rogerthorpe Manor. It is highly likely that he spent some of his time in India because in Badsworth churchyard, just outside of the South door, stands a large pyramid-like tombstone with the following inscription : "In memory of Osmond Alexander a native from the capital of Hindustan. He departed this life on 18th July 1788. In years a stripling, in person handsome, a temper and disposition most amiable, an honest lad and a faithful servant. This stone is erected by direction of his master colonel Edward Rawstorne. In memory of his adoration and regard". In St Anne's Chapel ( once known as the Rogerthorpe Chapel ) in Badsworth church is another memorial that reads : "To the memory of Elizabeth Jane Rawstorne daughter of Col Edward Rawstorne died August 30 1788 aged 14 years". The church register gives cause of death of Osmond as "Decline" and Elizabeth as "Consumption". It also gives Osmond's age as about 14. Were they friends in India? Obviously Osmond was very highly regarded. ( In the last century, and early this, the children of the area believed that if you ran seven times around Osmond Alexander's tomb he would appear. Apparently the most anyone did was six circuits before discretion took the better part of valour. ) Cheers Jo
