A gravestone in the churchyard of the Old Holy Trinity Church in the village of Wentworth, in the metropolitan area of Rotherham, South Yorkshire. The inscription reads 'In memory of Joshua the Son of Joseph and Melicent Oxley who was drowned at Elsecar on the 22nd of Feb 1803 aged 13 years. Our life hangs on a single thread Which soon is cut and we are dead. Then boast not reader of they might, Alive at noon and dead at night.' The church is a redundant Anglican ruin and stands closer to a newer church also dedicated to the Holy Trinity.
