The inscription on this memorial reads: In Loving Memory of Frances Elizabeth eldest daughter of H. Jones J.P. Carrickaderry, Co. Monaghan died February 10th 1914. R. I. P.

How this Frances Elizabeth Jones of Carrickaderry came to be in Bridgwater is not yet know, although our volunteers are looking into it. If you are able to shed any light on this story, please let us know.

As part of the wider effort to tidy the area along the main path near the Wembdon Road entrance, memorial 112, a simple memorial cross commemorating the Jones family was re-erected. As the Cottam memorial 114 was being conserved at the benevolence of Mr Gibson it was felt that its the entire row should be repaired to compliment it, as well as generally improving the look of the cemetery from the main road. The base was reset and then the cross was pinned back into place. Once the cross was standing again the Friends set about tidying the kerbs and chippings.
