The inscription reads:-

This statue was carved in 1662 by Stephen Baldwyn, and was set up in the Wheat Market in Southgate Street.

It was removed in the middle of the eighteenth century and its whereabouts remained obscure until 1945 when it was re-discovered in pieces in a garden at Chax Hill.

Re-erected in this position 1960.
