St James's Church, Longborough (Leigh Memorial)
Memoriæ Sacrum Gulielmi Leigh Militis nec non Elisabethæ conjugis
William died 1631 and Elizabeth 1664/5.
The epitaph records that she was a widow for 34 years,
during which her house provided a refuge for the poor,
and an ‘asylum to faithful subjects of the King (in most diffuclt times)’ that is, during the Civil War.
