"Two Sermons Preached in the Parish Church of Nonington, Kent, January 17, 1864" is a collection of two sermons delivered by Rev. Herbert James and Rev. Edward Hoare during the Victorian era. This book serves to commemorate the life of John Pemberton Plumptre, Esq., reflecting on his Christian character and contributions to the community. The overarching topic of the sermons revolves around the essence of faith, the importance of Christian living, and the example set by Plumptre as a guide for others. In these sermons, both ministers emphasize the call for Christians to emulate the faith and virtues embodied by Plumptre. The first sermon by Herbert James elaborates on the nature of true faith, describing it as fixed and joyous, and encourages listeners to remember and follow the example of Plumptre's life.

The speeches culminate in a reflection on the transformation offered through faith, as well as a hope that the congregation learns from Plumptre's legacy, embracing an authentic, grace-filled Christian life.
