Richard Darby was a malster, and died in 1776. He was buried in the south porch of the church, according to his desire, and his, pavemental stone is still there (1911) although illegible in parts from the wear of the feet of many Campdeners which have since passed over it. As the inscription is however, recorded by Bigland only a few years after its deposition, it is possible to produce it here, as follows:

Underneath this stone are
deposited the Remains of
Richard Darby, who departed
this life Dec. 20, 1776, aged 78.
Mary, his Wife, died Feb. 18, 1783.
Also to the memory of
Ann Smith, wife of
Mr. Nathan Smith, Daughter of R. and M. Darby.
She departed this life 22nd day of Feb., 1816, aged 77 years.

It seems probable that the Mr. Darby, carrier, referred to by Ballard in his letter of 1737, was he who later associated his name with that of Hulls. He lived for many years, and died in the premises in the Market-square now (1911) occupied by messrs. Vinn and Bennett, then one house; and Darby's malthouse is still existent at the rear, in the same condition as left by him, although it has not been used for malting these last ninety years and more. By his will, dated 22nd April, 1774, Richard left all his property to his wife for life, and after her death be devised the Market-square, premises to his daughter, Anne Darby; land at Hanging Aston to Matthew, his son; and a moiety of two pastures at Mickleton to John Darby, son, and Mary, wife of Wm. Charles, of Stow, mercer. daughter of the testator. To his said daughter Anne he bequeathed £400 also. The residue mainly consisting of £400 advanced to said Matthew, £485 to said John, and £400 to said Mary Charles, testator directed to be equally divided amonget his children. £5 was given to Campden poor in bread. Therefore Darby must have died worth, at least £2,500, say about £5,000 at the present (1911) time, so he was a comparatively wealthy man, and no doubt financed Hulls towards the end of his career, if not at the earlier part. Perhaps the fact that Darby held property in Hulls' native place accounts for their friendship in the beginning. On the other hand, the Darby family seems to have been a Campden one, for Edward Darby, of this town, married Elizth. Toms at Willersay, 7 June, 1749, and Richd. Darby, of Campden married Sarah Miles, of Broom, there 17 Feb., 1726. Possibly this is a record of an earlier marriage of Hulls' collaborator, who would then be 28 years of age. John Darby was a surgeon of Hatfield, and died in 1823, aged 79. In 1777 Ann Darby married Nathan Smith, of Campden, grocer, and died at Hammersmith in 1816, aged 77. Upon her death, her father's house at Campden passed to her husband for life, and afterwards to her sister, Mary Charles, for life, upon whose death in 1818 the premises passed to the daughter of the latter Miss Frances Charles, of St, Albans, who conveyed them to her brother, John Darby Charles, of Stow, in 1829. In 1833 this gentleman released to John Stanley, of Campden, and thus they passed out of the Darby family.
