Stuckey CoA on a memorial to John Stuckey (d 1810) in St Winifred's church, Branscombe.
The inscription on the memorial reads -
Sacred to the Memory of
JOHN STUCKEY of Weston Esqr
The only surviving Issue of ROBERT STUCKEY Esqr and of MARY his excellent Wife,
the sole Daughter and Heiress of WILLIAM BARTLETT of Hole in this Parish, Gent.
His superior Talents, elegant Accomplishments,
and many estimable Qualities amply fitted him for the most refined Society; and his Knowledge in the Laws
of his Country highly qualified him for the very important Duties of a Magistrate, which he discharged
with the greatest Independence and Integrity, and with consummate Ability. And though advanced Years
and their Infirmities occasioned his Retirement from the World,
yet he preserved to the last, those active Powers of Mind and Memory, for which he had been so eminently
conspicuous through Life.
He died unmarried on the 26th Day of January 1810, aged 91 Years.
This Monument was erected by BARNABY JOHN STUCKEY BARTLETT, his Relation and sole Executor,
in Testimony of the most grateful and affectionate Regard for his Memory.
