"These in the glorious morning of their days, for Englands sake, lost all but Englands praise" "Pax Bobiscum F.E. & C.A. Pawson, MCMXIX"

During extensions to the works "some years ago", the memorial was removed and sent away for cleaning. However owing to the composition of the sandstone from which the memorial was constructed, it disintegrated during cleaning. The memorial was said to be round, surrounded by laurel. Memorial lost through good intentions.
