In memory of/ Charles/ Edward Buckley,/ only son of The Revd. H. W. Buckley,/ and Charlotte Margaret, his wife;/ Captain in the P.C.O. Rifle Brigade,/ who was accidentally killed/ at Gunton, in Norfolk, Novr. 17th. 1868,/ in the 33rd. year of his age./ He served through the whole of the Indian Mutiny/ in 1857-8, with the P.C.O. Rifle Brigade,/ and in the Camel Corps selected out of that regiment. He was named by Sir Hugh Rose in his despatches/ for gallantry in the Field at Calpee./ This tablet is erected by numerous friends,/ in token of their regard for his character/ as a Christian, a Soldier, and a Gentleman,/ and of their deep sympathy with/ his bereaved parents./ "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is/ of God; and every one that loveth is born of/ God, and knoweth God."  1, JOHN, IV, 7./ Foot of backboard:
