Surname  Crisp    
First Name(s)  Burriah    
Year  1811    
Inscription  Sacred to the Memory of Burriah Crisp, Esquire, a Senior Merchant in the service of the East India Company; and first member of the Board of Revenue: who departed this life on the 26th day of April 1811, aged 47 years. He arrived in this country when a child, and was therefore deprived of the advantages of an education in Europe, but by the tender care of an excellent mother (whose remains are interred near this spot) and by the powers of his own mind, he attained the highest offices under the Government; which he filled with zeal, ability and honor; whilst his private life was eminently distinguished by benevolence, piety and every social virtue.
