Fielding (1910) records MI
'To the memory of the Rev Charles Cage, fifty years rector of Leybourne. 'I go to prepara place for you that where I am you may be also.' Firmly relying on this promise our deceased friend slept in peace, a few friends with whom he walked in happy companionship on earth, anxious to record the rare simplicity of character and the numerous endearing qualities which bound their hearts to his, have placed this window over his grave; their love has not ended with his life; it survives to cheer with soothing remembrance the hours which yet remain till they are also called from their labours to be reunited as they humbly hope in Jesus to him whom they loved on earth in a new existence where there shall never be separation.'
