Notes: 

DETAILS OF THIS BEQUEST CAN BE FOUND ON THE PLAQUE IN THE NORTH AISLE (SEE NUMBER 799) WHICH READS “Mr. John Rea by his last will and testament dated the 4th day of July 1795 made a charitable bequest of the sum of one hundred pounds, the interest arising therefrom to be annually distributed by the church warden to the poor on the church books."

Note  that the will was made in 1795 but not used until 1804, which presumably was when he died.
