MI in Fielding (1910)
"Sacred to the memory of Andrew Burnaby DD, of Brampton in the county of Huntingdon, and of Bargreave Hall, in the county of Leicester, and also of Anna his wife. He was born at Asporley, in the county of Leicester, of which his ancestors were for successive generations both patrons and incumbents. He married Anna, daughter and sole heiress of Bargreavem by whom he left issue, four sons and a daughter. His early ministerial career was passed in Italy, where he resided five years as Chaplain to the British Factory in Leghorn. He was afterwards vicar of this parish for forty-two years. During the last twenty-six of which period he held also the office of Archdeacon, of the Archdeaconry of Leicester. Distinguished in his generation for literary taste and mental accomplishments, he was not the less admired as a preacher, and confided in as a learned, sound and judicious divine. And while his benevolence of heart, and unostentatious charity endeared him to the poor amongst his flock, the mildness of his disposition and unaffected urbanity of manners won him the respect and esteem of all. He died at Blackheath, in his eightieth year, on the 9th of March 1812; Anna, his wife, died on the 19th of the same month, aged 76 years. Their mortal remains were interred together at Hungarton, in Leicestershire, and thus, by a merciful dispensation of providence, they who for more than forty-two years had been lovely and pleasant in their lives, in their deaths were not divided.'
