“Sadly, Thomas Croxton did not get the monument he deserved. The following words are what he requested to be inscribed onto his monument; I hope that placing the wording into this page helps preserve his memory:

Departed the life, in his happy flight,
THOMAS CROXTON
Founder of the Town of Croxton,
and the Statue of his Majesty George the Third
Æ67, A.D. 1815”
