[edit]Description2nd Earl of Hardwicke tablet.jpg |
The inscription on the memorial to Philip Yorke, 2nd Earl of Hardwicke at St Andrew's Church, Wimpole on the Wimpole Estate. ""In the family vault in this Chapel are deposited the Remains of Philip Earl of Hardwicke, Son & Heir of Philip Earl of Hardwicke, Lord High Chancellor of Britain, &c: &c: by Margaret his Wife. He was born Dec. 20th. 1720, & died May 16th. in his 70th. year. In 1736, he was appointed a Teller of the Exchequer; in 1757, Lord Lieutt. & Custos Rotulorum of the County of Cambridge; in 1760, a Member of His Majesty's Most Honble. Privy Council; in 1764, elected High Steward of the University of Cambridge; & had the Honour of Representing that County in Parliament from 1747 to 1764, when he succeeded to the Title, &c." "To the earliest Indications of uncommon quickness of Parts, & a strong comprehensive Understanding, were happily united, an ardent Desire of Knowledge, & an unremitting Application. With Gifts so excellent, improved by Culture, he would have done Honour, by his Talents, to the highest Stations, if the Pursuits & Attainments of Learning, had not been more congenial to his Nature, than Views of Ambition, or of Active Life." "Well versed in classical and general Learning, peculiarly distinguished by an extensive and accurate Knowledge of History; ready and elegant in Composition; fond of the Arts, and of the Objects of his youthful Studies; he promoted the first, by his Countenance & Liberality, the last by his Example." "The regular and blameless Tenor of his Life, and his Benevolence towards Individuals, evinced beyond a doubt, that the Principles he professed, and the Duties he practised, were founded upon the great and established Truths of the Natural and Revealed Religion." "Amid the various Blessings he enjoyed, the only With which the Warmth of Affection could have devised for the Completion of his Happiness, was obtained by his Marriage, in 1740, with Jemima Campbell, Daughter of John, Lord Viscount Glenorchy (afterwards Earl of Breadalbane) Grand-Daughter & Heiress of Henry, Duke of Kent; Baroness Lucas of Crudwell, and Marchioness Grey, the Issue of which were, Lady Amabell & Lady Mary Grey."
