Inscription
To the happy memory of Harold Vyvyan and Vere Harmsworth, sons of Viscount Rothermere, who gave their lives for us in the Great War. 1914 - 18.

The verse is from "The Dead" by Rupert Brooke.

The large plaque is on the back wall of this little pavilion. There are reliefs of frolicking children around the outside, under the eaves, and on the weather vane is a boy about to kick a football.
