Lettering: Inscribed on a plaque

About the memorial: Rectangular, metal plaque affixed to stonework close to the organ. Crest atop inscription. This is a Composite memorial because of the enlargement of the Organ mentioned in the dedication. That enlargement work was done by Harrison and Harrison, but the original organ was an 1847 'Father Willis' organ, which had been altered 4 times, but had it's roots in an organ from 1635. The organ was rebuilt by Hill, Norman and Beard in 1971 and has been amended by Nicholson's a number of times since, so a very complicated history. As of March 2022 the organ is non operational due to technical issues and is to be rebuilt by Nicholson's in 2024.
