'John Foster' memorial tablet

This photograph is described below.

The architect of the Oratory is commemorated by a simple slab of polished red granite. The inscription records how ‘on his return from long and arduous travels in the pursuit of his art’ a different picture from that painted by Cockerell, ‘...he... enriched his native town with the fruits of his genius, industry and integrity’.
