'To the memory of Captain Richard Budd Vincent of the Royal Navy and C.B. whose remains are deposited in a vault near this tablet. He was made a Companion of the Honorable Military Order of the Bath with appropriate augmentation to his arms for his gallant conduct in defending a valuable convoy in the Mediterranean when in command of H.M. Sloop 'Arrow' of 28 short guns and 132 men (having under his orders H.M. Bomb Acheron Captain Farquhar, of 8 guns and 67 men). He encountered on the 4 of February 1805, two powerful French frigates L'Hortense of 48 guns and L'Incorruptible of 42 guns, and 650 men including troops, and fought the latter in close action, for one hour and 20 minutes. Great part of his crew being killed or wounded, and his convoy (which had lost only 3 out of a fleet of 32 vessels) being in safety, and his own ship utterly disabled, he was compelled to strike his colours, having barely time to save the remainder of his people, when the Arrow sunk. L'Hortense, the other frigate of 48 guns, chased and captured the Acheron after a brave defence, and then burnt her. He married July 1805, Philippa youngest daughter of the late Captain Richard Norbury R.N. of Droitwich, in the county of Worcester, and died at Deal, 18th August 1831, aged 64'
