Barber Beaumont - information plaque

Inscription

The origins of Queen Mary College lie in Barber Beaumont's Philosophical Institution. This stone from his first place of interment in Shandy Park was brought here in 1979. His remains now lie in Kensal Green.

This information plaque is giving the provenance of the immense slab of information about Beaumont to its left.

Site: Barber Beaumont - QMC (2 memorials)

E1, Mile End Road, The People's Palace Foyer, Queen Mary University of London

This inscribed slab self-describes as being part of Beaumont's vault, which was in his own East London Cemetery, now Shandy Park, a 5-minute walk due south from here. See Barber Beaumont tomb for more information.
