The memorial is to members of the Procter family and is in
two parts. There is the stretched pyramid and also an inscribed stone set into
the ground close to the pyramid. The inscriptions, that are difficult to read,
say:
On the side of the pyramid furthest from the
mural:
"Sacred to the memory of Mr John Procter, late of No 94
Tottenham Court Road, who departed this life the 7th day of July 1834 in the
74th year of his age, and of Mrs Mary Procter, relict of the above, who died the
22nd day of Jany 1840, aged 77 years."
On the side of the pyramid closest to the mural:
"Also of John, grandson of the above, born 17th June
1835. Died 15th March 1836."
On the granite slab laid into the ground:
"This piece of land, being fifty-seven feet long and
eighteen feet wide, was dedicated as an open space for the use of the public for
ever. In memory of Robert Procter and Esther Procter, his wife, of 78 St Pauls
Churchyard, by their four children."
