Fielding (1910) carries MI from Yalding, where buried 31/3/1840:# Sacred to the memory of the Rev. Richard Warde, AM, 41 years vicar of this parish, and 43 years vicar of Ditton in this county. He died March 26th 1840, in the 76th year of his age. His undoubting faith, his cheerful piety and his ready acquiescence in the will of God, his zeal for his redeemer's service manifested in the distribution of Bibles, and in the support of societies formed for the promotion of God's glory, his active benevolence and his diffuse urbanity of manners and openness of heart, his love for his children, his kindness to the poor and fatherly care of the flock of which he was pastor, his uprightness of character, clearness of judgment, and habits of usefulness were known to all within his circle of acquaintance, and more than all to those who mourn his irreperable loss, and now raise to his memory their last record of their deep and never dying affection. The just shall live by faith. Galatians 3rd chap., 11th verse.
