George Richmond, R.A., D.C.L., Oxford, LL.D., Cambridge. 



Born 1801). Though not a Wiltshircman by birth, the well-known portrait I 

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

 dilapidation and possible destruction — and his restoration of it on most 1 

 strictly Conservative lines to the condition in which it now stands. Mr. 'I 

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

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

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

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

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

 family which has held a prominent position in the town for two centuries, 

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

 — 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 largely on his generous support. l\ 

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

 to be extremely liberal. Obit, notices, Devizes Gazette, May 14th ; and j
