Inscription
This monument is erected in memory of William Whiteley of Westbourne Grove on Queens Road in the County of London, Esquire, by whose munificent bequest this park was purchased and these cottage homes were built for the comfort of old age and as an encouragement to others to do likewise.
Blessed be the man that provideth for the sick and needy. XLI

The Listing text says the statue and the relief are of copper, not the more usual bronze. The front of the plinth below the seated lady supports (top to bottom): the relief; the plaque; the foundation stone. The biographical plaque is on the back.
