Gurney monument -2


  The year is 2002 and the Gurney obelisk still stands amidst the hustle and bustle of Stratford.  The monument also had a public drinking fountain and horse trough. The inscription reads:


In Remembrance Of


SAMUEL GURNEY


Who Died The 5th of June, 1856.


Erected By His Fellow Parishioners And


Friends, 1861


"When the ear heard him then it blessed him."
