Wandering round Marsden Park as one does on a nice summers day I came across this plaque which I couldn't find any reference to on the usual internet sources. Located in the now termed 'Marsden Lodge' it had been used to fill in an old window space that once looked out between the lodge and the Hall. Oval in shape and about 30" long. The inscription on it had been painted and is now largely undecipherable.

My guess, which could be totally wrong, is that it was associated with the family of Richard Thomas Wroe Walton. The coat of arms possibly being a quartered Banastre from Altham with the plaque itself referring to a Parsonage. But equally it could be a Blacksmiths shop. Any suggestions
