The monument is detailed like many of the tall ones of the time. Side 1 has the family name, "Allen", on the plinth. The compass and square of the Freemasons is on the obelisk section, and below it is a quote from Hebrews 6:19:
Which hope we have as
an anchor to the soul,
both sure and steadfast,
and which entereth into
that within the veil: whith
er the forerunner is for
us entered.
The main panel has this inscription:

For in thee
O Lord
Do I Hope.
