Richard Dennison Cumberland, for nearly half a 
century constant resident Rector of that parish, and 
Harnhill. Unalterably attached to that healthy spot, 
and haying christened nearly half of his parishioners, 
the considered it always as his proper home; and seek- 
ing no farther preferment, ended his days in tran- 
quillity among them. His descent was from Denni- 
son Cumberland, Archdeacon of Northampton, whose 
son was the celebrated Richard Cumberland, Bishop 
of Peterborough, the author of Sanconiatho’s 'Phee- 
nician History, the Law of Nature, and a Treatise 
on Hebrew Weights and Measures, &c. He was also 
grandson to John Cumberland, whose noble invention 
of bending ship-timber, by means of steam, in cases 
‘of sand, has been the means of saving millions to this 
country, and in which he expended a large fortune, 
without receiving any adequate reward. He has left 
‘only one daughter, married to the Rev. J. P. Jones, 
A.M. of Brecon, and a widow, who is inconsolable 
for his loss. His ancestry on the maternal side is 
equally honourable, being ina direct line from the 
renowned Admiral Balchen, who was lost in the ship 
Victory, and to whose memory Government erected 
a monument in Westminster Abbey.
