St Mary (Old Church), Stoke Newington

The most remarkable tomb in the church-yard is that of Alderman Picket's family. It was erected in memory of his father Mr. William Picket, 1745; and Anne his mother, 1750. It commemorates also the melancholy and untimely fate of the Alderman's daughter Elizabeth, who died Dec. 11, 1781, "in consequence of her cloaths taking fire the preceding evening." The inscription adds, "Reader, if ever you should witness such an afflicting scene, recollect, that the only method to extinguish the flame is to stifle it by an immediate covering."

Underneath the paint, you can still just read:

Take your thieving hands off my garden fence do not come back and put your rubbish, throw your urine and put faeces outside of my garden.

You can always remove this notice from my fence, as much as you like. I soon will put up another one. It's because you are guilty that is why you are removing it. I saw you when you removed it before. If you were not guilty, you would not remove it.

You the culprit know who you are. It is placed at my property I own the fence it belongs to me. You have no right at my fence. Don't come back here. You know where you live and you do not live here. Everybody has a gate and this is not your gate. You are not wanted at my gate, I do not invite you at my gate therefore you have no right at my gate.

The only person to have rights to come inside my gate is the postman who delivers my letters.

So you are not the postman, you are TRESPASSING.

Keep away from my fence and my gate.
