Sacred to the memory of Lieutenant Edward Speke of the 65th Regiment Bengal Native Infantry, aged 29 years, third son of William Speke Esquire of Jordans in the parish of Ashill, who died on the 18th September 1857 from the effects of a wound received on the 14th of the same month when gallantly fighting in the ranks of the 1st Bengal Fusiliers at the storming of Delhi. This tablet was erected by his brother officers of the 65th N.I. as a slight token of their esteem for one whose noble character and Christian virtues had deservedly endeared him to them all. 'Thy ways are not our ways but are just and true'.
