Inscription  [Tablet inscribed in latin. Google translation] With the pious memory of John Thomas (Joanis Thomai) James STP of this former bishop's see, who in one man united those vast regions of Africa, the silk of Australia, with the whole of India, the last of which was bounded by one province. Exhausted by such an odd burden and concern for so many churches, he died on the 22nd day of August 1818, aged 42. He was happy enough to present the harvest of his labors, if he had been scattered, with such a high spirit.
