Inscription
On this spot, awaiting sepulture in Westminster Abbey, rested, from May 26 to 28, 1898, the body of the Right Honourable William Ewart Gladstone, four times Prime Minister.
We were unfamiliar with the word 'sepulture'. In this context it means the ritual placing of a corpse into a grave, or, more simply, burial.
