Around the border of the plaque there is a pseudo-Celtic frieze of interlace and floral patterns. The monument is of brass set against a black lacquer. It is interrupted at the four comers and also directly below the crest, on the bottom line, by five squares of floral decoration each bearing four leaf-like forms. These squares are red in colour. In the left hand comer the words "GAWTHORP Sc LONDON" and "LATTEN" are written. * beneath the arms of the Grammar School. The quotation should be from Matthew, Chapter 5, Verse 8. . 9
