Inside St James's Church, Tedstone Delamere (W)

A view of the nave, looking towards the west end of the church, showing a most attractive timber framework supporting the externally timbered bell-tower. The memorial on the left rear wall is to Richard WIGHT, the Inscription reading:

Sacred to the revered Memory of
Richard WIGHT Esquire
(late of Tedstone Court)
who departed this life on the 31st of December 1821
in the 41st Year of his Age
Possessed of unshaken probity
unostentatious piety
with almost unparalleled meekness and humility
this truly excellent Man
was snatched in the prime of life
from a wife and family to whom his virtues rendered
him a most inestimable blessing.

Also of
Mary Maria WIGHT
Wife of the above who died 17th. of September 1859
in the 74th. Year of her Age
