Wallis, Albany
In Latin: Below here was buried, amidst the unfeigned tears of his fellow pupils, Albany Charles Wallis, sole hope of his most devoted father. Too greatly, alas, enthralled by the forbidden allurements of the Thames river he was carried away by its wild force and perished on the 29th day of March A.D.1776 aged 13. Stay, young man, and contemplate his end. [Translation courtesy of Westminster Abbey website.]
