sacred to the memory of

vice admiral SIR JAMES NICHOLL MORRIS, K.C.B.

who departed this life at his residence, thames bank, great marlow

the 15th of april 1830, aged 66 years.

he was a sincere christian in his belief and practice,

both being alike distinguished by a simplicity and singleness of heart

for which he was remarkable.

his beneficence was of that sort which is rather felt than seen

he was a firm and zealous friend

and in the various relations of life most exemplary

whilst his strict sense of honour in the discharge of his several

duties rendered him universally

respected – esteemed – and regretted.

he married in 1802 margaretta sarah,

daughter of thomas somers cocks esqre

who erects this tablet to record his worth

and her submissive but unfeigned grief.

and now lord what is only hope: truly my hope is even in thee.
