CRABBE L.L.B.<br/>who died on the 3<sup>rd</sup> of February 1832 in the 78<sup>th</sup> year of his age<br/>and the 18<sup>th</sup> year of his services as rector of this parish.<br/> Born in humble life, he made himself what he was; breaking through the obscurity of his birth by the force of his genius; yet he never ceased to feel for the less fortunate; entering, as his works can testify, into the sorrows and wants of the poorest of his parishioners, and so discharging the duties of a pastor and a magistrate as to endear himself to all around him, as a writer he cannot be better described than in the words of a great poet, his contemporary, "tho' nature's sternest painter, yet her best".<br/>This monument was erected by some of his affectionate friends and parishioners</small>''</ref>]]
