Mon Inscripts notes for Rebecca Twisden
On the memorial in St George’s Church, Benendon, the Inscription is recorded as:

“Sacred to the memory of Rebecca, wife of Thomas Law HODGES, Esq. of Hemsted in this parish, only child of Sir Roger TWISDEN, Bart, of Bradbourne Park in East Malling, who died a short time before her birth. She was the last survivor of that ancient family, born at Bradbourne January 5th 1780, married February 16th 1802, died at Hemsted February 2nd, 1843. Her affectionate duty to widowed mother, her love for her husband and children, and her active sympathy with the sufferings of the afflicted and the needy, were sanctified by an unfailing trust in the merits of her Saviour, and the deepest resignation to the divine will. (Arms below: Or, 3 crescents sa. on a canton of the second a ducal crown of the first. Motto: Praevisa mala periunt).”
