Plaque

John Christopher Smith

Inscription

John Christopher Smith, Handel's friend and secretary, 1712 - 1763, lived and died here.

The dates on the plaque confuse Smith (1712 - 1795) with his father, Johann Christoph Schmidt (1683–1762/3), also confusingly later known as John Christopher Smith.
