HERE REPOSES IN THE MERCY OF JESUS/ THE BODY OF/ LIEUT. COLONEL CHARLES PLENDERLEATH, C.B.// WHO DIED AT FLORENCE/ JANUARY 1 MDCCCLIV/ AGED 73 YEARS
'The following extracts are taken from an account of Stoney Creek given by Lt. James Fitzgibbon, 49th Foot, in a private letter, dated June 7, 1813, to the Rev. James Somerville of Montreal: "Maj. Plenderleath came immediately after to that portion of the line which I had quitted, and, with the men I had left in charge of a sergeant, and a few others, he rushed forward against the guns and took four of them. Maj. Plenderleath pushed on with about 20 men, following the main road, the men stabbing every man and horse they met with... This handful of men with Maj. Plenderleath took at this dash, besides the two generals [Chandler and Winder], five field officers and captains, and above 100 prisoners, and brought them off. "I am of opinion that, had not Maj. Plenderleath made the dash he did, the Americans would have kept their ground and our ruin would have been inevitable." Plenderleath went on to further successes. He was the de facto commander of the 49th as he led it into battle at John Crysler's Farm. There, he was ordered to charge and capture American artillery, which he did while fending off a counter-attack by American dragoons - a fancy name for cavalry. He left the service as Lt.-Col. Plenderleath and was placed on half pay and saw no further active service. He died in 1854'. Pastore Luigi Santini was in error in confusing Charles Plenderleath perhaps with William Plenderleath when he says he 'visited the 'Waldensian valleys in Piedmont in 1821 and 1823, and developed a programme of popular education. In the early eighteen hundreds, in fact, the Waldensians enjoyed an exemplary system of elementary education'. But it is true that Charles Plenderleath was Treasurer of the Bristol & Clifton Naval and Military Auxiliary Bible Society, a similar involvement as that of Captain John Pakenham (see E118/ CAROLINE EMILY (THOMPSON/POPHAM) PAKENHAM, & ELIZABETH ISABELLA PAKENHAM), who was Secretary of the Naval and Military Bible Society, which caused considerable danger to English and Tuscan Protestants under the Austrian military occupation called in by the Grand Duke in 1849.
