MARIANNE AND ANNABELLA / Two of his surviving Daughters have erected this commemorative Tablet / As the united Testimony of their Love and Veneration. / In a Vault near this place are deposited the Remains of / WILLIAM NORFORD, M.D. / Late of this Town, / Who, in an extensive Practice of more than 32 years, / Was universally respected for his professional Talents and beloved for his / Private Virtues / He died March 1793, aged 73. / Of his Children by his second Wife consisting of 7 Sons and 3 Daughters / Thomas, M.D. the eldest, / James, Lieutenant in the Royal Navy, / And Henry, Captain in his Majesty's seventy-sixth Regiment / Were prematurely cut off at the ages of 27, 29 and 26. / but not before they had given the most flattering promise of eminence in their / Respective Professions. / To Henry, / Who was killed, after having greatly signalised himself in an Action with Holkar / At Deeg, in the East Indies: / And whose death deprived his widowed Mother of that consolation & support / Which she enjoyed from his filial attentions; / His Brother Officers paid a very honourable tribute of their respect for his / Gallantry as a Soldier, and his amiable qualities as a Man, / By subscribing for a Monument to his Memory, near the spot on which he fell.

James Norford, Henry Norford
