Inscription

The origins of Queen Mary College lie in Barber Beaumont's Philosophical Institution. This stone from his first place of interment in Shandy Park was brought here in 1979. His remains now lie in Kensal Green.

This information plaque is giving the provenance of the immense slab of information about Beaumont to its left.

Site: Barber Beaumont - QMC (2 memorials)
