The inscription commemorates Amon Wilds, who died on September 12, 1833, at the age of 71. It highlights his significant contributions to architecture in Brighton, noting that his abilities and taste transformed the style of local buildings from their antiquated simplicity to a more refined aesthetic, and praises his extensive genius, talent, and reputation for upright conduct.
