“MDCCCXII. In memory of LEWIS JONES, Esq., for fourteen years
town-clerk of Oswestry: he died June 5th, in the 56th year of his
age. This tablet was erected by the corporation of this town, in
token of their affectionate remembrance of a man, who was remarkable
for his knowledge of the laws of his country, and for his readiness
in imparting that knowledge, with a view to prevent litigation among
his neighbours.”
