Tablet to the memory of Lord Palmerston's father and mother, in Romsey Abbey Church, 1865. 'The tombs of Lord Palmerston's father and mother, as well as that of Sir William Temple, his brother, and those of other members of his family are in this church. We have engraved a drawing of the mural tablet, by Flaxman, which was erected by the late Minister to the memory of his parents, about the time when he entered public life. The inscription, which was probably composed by himself, runs as follows: "Sacred to the Memory of Henry Viscount Palmerston, Baron Temple, and of Mary Viscountess Palmerston, his second wife, whose remains are deposited near this place. He was born the 4th Dec., 1739; Succeeded his grandfather, Viscount Palmerston the 10th June, 1767, and departed this life the 20th Jan., 1805. They left two sons, Henry and William; and two daughters, Frances and Elizabeth, to lament their early and irreparable loss".' From "Illustrated London News", 1865.
