Individual Note (shared)

A tablet over the vestry door of Tarring Church, Sussex, has the following inscription:-

"Sacred to the memory of Thomas Henty, the second son of Thomas and Frances Henty, many years resident in this Parish, who after having served in H.M.S. 'Minden' at the battle of Algiers under Lord Exmouth in 1816, proceeded in his ship to the East Indies where where the rupture of a blood-vessel occasioned his immediate return to this country and his subsequent death on 28th June, 1819, in the eighteenth year of his age.

His parents now living in a distant land have placed this tablet to record their affection for his memory."
