The marble tablet commemorates Reverend Alfred Stackhouse (1811-1876), minister of the church for 16 years.
When Longford fell vacant in 1860 Stackhouse was offered the parish and he remained there until ill health forced his resignation. Not long before his death on 25 May 1876 he had published an Address to Young Persons Who are of Age to be Confirmed, a work considered highly by the metropolitan of Sydney who bought 500 copies. His most successful pamphlet, Family Prayers (Launceston, 1845), ran to a third edition.
