George Eichmond, E.A., D.C.L., Oxford, LL.D., Cambridge. 



Born 1809. Though not a Wiltshireman by birth, the well-known portrait 

 painter has deserved well of the county in the eyes of all lovers of antiquity 

 by his rescue of the beautiful old " Porch House " at Potterne, from 

 dilapidation and possible destruction— and his restoration of it on most 

 strictly Conservative lines to the condition in which it uow stands. Mr. 

 Eichmond spent much of his holidays at Potterne, and was well known and 

 greatly respected in the village. Obit, notice, Devizes Gazette, March 

 26th, 1896.

 years he took pupils. A keen politician, at first as a Liberal, afterwards as 

 a Liberal Unionist. Eector of Silk Willoughby, Lincoln, 1879-1896.

Edward Benjamin Anstie. Born Oct. 19th, 1816. Died May 11th, 1896. 

 Buried at the New Baptist Graveyard, Devizes. Though one of the best 

 known and most generally respected citizens of Devizes, belonging to a 

 famil}' which has held a prominent position in the town for two centuries, 

 and the head of an important business — the well-known tobacco manufactory 

 — Mr. Anstie never took much part in municipal affairs. His bent was 

 rather towards religious and philanthropic matters, in which he always took 

 the greatest interest, more than one Nonconformist place of worship in 

 Devizes and the neighbourhood depending lai'gely on his generous support. 

 Both in private charity and the support of religious societies he was known 

 to be extremel}' liberal. Obit, notices, Devizes Gazette, May 14th ; and 

 Devizes Advertiser, May 14th, 1896.
