Inscription in Latin by Philip Howard, Earl of Arundel, 1587 (1803). Copied from the wall of the Beauchamp Tower, Tower of London. Howard (1557-1595) became Catholic during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. He spent ten years in the Tower of London, although charges of high treason were never proved. He asked the Queen, as he lay dying of dysentery, to allow him to see his wife, and his baby son who had never seen. The Queen told him that if he would return to Protestantism his request would be granted. Howard refused. He was acclaimed as a Catholic Martyr and was canonised by Pope Paul VI in 1970.
