In our photo the plaque is lost behind the small newly-planted tree. It's now on a brick upright (whose only function is to display the plaque) at the wheel-chair access ramp.  We imagine the plaque was originally laid into the wall, as is normal with foundation stones.

The exterior walls are studded with shields, each representing a country.  has photographed them.
