 Freke. He had sixteen children, of whom thirteen survive him. J. P.

In all the district of Swindon and Highworth no man was better known 

 or more universally respected than he. Throughout his life his time and 

 energies had been given without stint to the public service. He had 

 been Chairman of the Swindon Bench of Magistrates for fifteen years. 

 He had been a member of the Swindon and Highworth Board of Guardians 

 since 1864, and their chairman (with the exception of one year) 

 since 1871. He represented Highworth on the County Council from its 

 beginning until he retired four years ago. He was a trustee of the Broad 

 Town Charity. In 1873 he was appointed Chairman of the Rural Sanitary 

 Authority of Highworth and carried out the duties of chainnanship over 

 that body when it became the Highworth District Council until his death. 

 In all these positions, and in connection with all sorts of other local 

 matters, his wide and long experience of the administration of the Poor 

 Law, and of other county business, his practical commonsense and good 

 judgment, his tact, and the geniality and genuine kindliness of his dis- 

 position, as well as the unfailing regularity, almost to the last, with which 

 he attended to all the duties, which his many ofifices brought upon him, 

 gained him the affectionate respect of all with whom he came in contact. 

 Few country gentlemen have served their county better than he, and 

 the crowded churchyard at Hannington on the day of his funeral showed 

 what those who knew him thought of his life.
