Monument with stone finials. Sacred to the memory of the Reverend Robert Behoe Radcliffe MA late Fellow of Kings College Cambridge and four years Vicar of this Parish; He died the 26th of August 1832 Aged 36 Years. He was descended from an ancient family, possessed a singular nobleness of mind and sweetness of disposition. He was an earnest and affecting preacher, a faithful expounder of the word of truth, and adorned by his life the doctrine which he taught: proving more especially that God was with him by the patience with which he endured the extreme sufferings of body which brought him to an early grave. Is Ministry here, though short, was abundantly blessed; and that his name may be remembered, when those who heard his voice are sunk to dust, this Monument is erected by his Parishioners. This slab bearing the original inscription replaces that which suddenly fell on June 14th 1918. (Photo Aug 2015).
