Churchyard monument. 1834. Head and footstone. Portland stone.
A good original verse epitaph to a Sergeant Major in the
Grenadier Guards, WILLIAM MIDDLEDITCH. The verse reads:-
A HUSBAND, FATHER, COMRADE, FRIEND SINCERE,
A BRITISH SOLDIER BRAVE LIES BURIED HERE.
IN SPAIN AND FLUSHING AND AT WATERLOO
HE FOUGHT TO GUARD OUR COUNTRY FROM THE FOE.
HIS COMRADES, BRITONS WHO SURVIVE HIM, SAY
HE ACTED NOBLY ON THAT GLORIOUS DAY.
(Survey of Monuments in the Great Churchyard c.1960: West
Suffolk CC: SECTION 8).
