Kearley's monument

This is not a monument to Hudson Ewbanke Kearley, 1st Viscount Devonport, PC, DL (1 September 1856 – 5 September 1934). He was a British grocer and liberal politician but the monument refers to a decision, in the Court of Appeal on 28th March 1899, asserting the 'Memenham Ferry is public'. "Well My Lord: public it may be - but it 'ain't here nowadays!"
