Near this place lieth ye body of Jane Done, eldest daughter of sir John Done, late of Utkinton in this county Palatine of Chester, knight, and one of ye co-heirs of John Done, his son, esq. She was baptised Nov. 14th, 1600, and in a virgin state and great reputation liv'd remarkably eminent for parts & prudence, affability & generosity, charity & piety…..
...She was a most tender lover of her no less affectionate sister, Mary Crewe, upon whom, and her heirs, she settled her proportion of ye estate and from whom she never parted till the day of her death, March 2nd 1662.

Here, also, by her dear sister Jane Done, lieth the body of Mary Crewe, second daughter of sr John Done, & another of ye co-heirs of John Done, esq., wife and relict of John Crewe esq. (second son of sr Randle Crewe, of Crewe in this county). She was born at Utkinton, July 12th 1604, married at Stockport church, December 1636 & had 4 children...

...To the memory of which two sisters, alike in their characters and affections, matchless in their endearments, inseparable in their lives, by death scarcely divided and here at last resting
together awaiting ye dawning of ye ressurrection, this monument was erected, in duty and honour, by sr John Crewe, of Utkinton, (nephew to ye one, son to ye other, & heir to both) in the year of our Lord M.DC.XCVIII.
