Biography
Sir James Duke, 1st Baronet (1792-1873), devoted himself to public life, serving the people of London as a Member of Parliament and as Lord Mayor, always striving to bring order and compassion to the governance of the city.
The Parish Church of All Saints in Laughton honours his commitment to civic duty and the generous support he gave to that rural parish, which sustained him in retirement.
