Inscription: on front of plinth: “THE SISTERS OF BETHANY / ‘THE MASTER IS COME AND CALLETH FOR THEE’” This quotation from John 11:28, Martha's cheerful call to Mary, also provided the title of a poem by Christina Rossetti and appears on Victorian tombstones, such as that of George Edward Rood at Arnos Vale Cemetery, Bristol. Quoted from the Victorian Web.
