This memorial appears to have been carved from stone but the green staining indicates that there may be some copper element. The inscription reads:
"Here / lived / the architects / Augs Charles Pugin / Born 1762 : Died 1832 / Augs Welby N Pugin / Born 1812 : Died 1852"
The top and bottom of the memorial has some detailed carved scroll-work. Above the inscription, in relief, are two cherubs, with wings, in differing poses. Between the, and being held by them, is a wreath also in relief.
The memorial is about one meter (3 feet) high and slightly less across.

Augustus Charles Pugin, born Auguste Charles Pugin, (1762–1832) was an Anglo-French artist and architectural draftsman, as well as a writer on medieval architecture. He was born in Paris, France, but his father was Swiss, and Pugin himself was to spend most of his life in England.
Pugin left France during the Revolutionary period for unclear reasons and entered the Royal Academy Schools in London in 1792. Shortly afterwards he obtained a position as an architectural draftsman with the architect John Nash. After considering and abandoning a career in architecture Pugin married and settled on a career as a commercial artist working primarily for publishers of illustrated books. He was a skilful watercolourist as well as an accomplished draftsman.
