In Bingley Cemetery rests
William Ferrand of A
who so affectionately dedicated
the rustic monument below
this rock to my dear mother
and I Fanny Mary Ferrand
his loving wife dedicated this
memorial to his dear and
lamented memory.
In early life he took an active
part in support of the B  hours
factory bill and after seventeen years
of ceaseless effort he assisted
as MP for Knaresbro in carrying
it through the House of Commons.

He brought under notice the
iniquity of the truck system
and a stringent law was passed
to compel the payment of wages
in the current
C of the realm.
He vigorously exposed the harsh
clauses of the poor law, until
they were removed from the statute
book, and he was the firm denouncer
of all corruption among public men.
He planted about 400 acres of
D
for the benefit of thr property and
to beautify his native place.

He was MP for Knaresbro from
1841 to 1847 and for Devenport
from 1863 to
E  was a deputy
Lieutenant of the West Riding and
acted as a magistrate for nearly

F  years during a great portion of
which time he presided as chairman
of the Keighley Petty Sessional
Division in perfect harmony with
his fellow magistrates.
He died
31st March 1889
in his 80th year.
