Old Plaque

Can anybody identify any of the fonts / typefaces on this plaque?
I realised this was made in 1832 so it's not straight forward. Just looking for the closest matches.

These are not fonts.

Wow. helpful.
Anything close? I think one of them is like Bodoni. One is an Old English of some sort. Just looking for the closest thing possible.

The Roman letters of this 1832 inscription are indeed in the high contrast Modern style of Bodoni, and particularly the "fat face" styles of the era, such as Thorowgood.
Of the available digital fonts I suggest that the closest equivalent could perhaps be Sybarite of 1829

The Old English style letters do indeed seem to be modeled on the Old English of William Caslon.
The digital vesrisons are a reasonable substitute for them.
