He travelled widely in far places; <br />Wrote, and was widely read.<br />Soldiered, saw some of danger's faces,<br />Came home to Nettlebed.

The squire lies here, his journeys ended – <br />Dust, and a name on a stone –<br />Content, amid the lands he tended,<br />To keep this rendezvous alone.<ref>Hart-Davis, Duff (1987) ''Peter Fleming''. Oxford: Oxford University Press; p. 401</ref>
