               SACRED
          to the memory of
         GEORGE DESPARD ESQ
late resident magistrate of this county
   the duties of which he faithfully
  fulfilled for many years with wisdom
     firmness and impartiality
  He departed this life beloved and
    respected by all who knew him
     on the 21st of December 1846
     in the 47th year of his age
    in full assurance of glorious
  resurrection through the merit of
  Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

      Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord
      They rest from their labours and their
      works do follow them
      Rev. 14th Ch. 13th Verse

This table was erected by his bereaved
widow and children
