Plaque Wording: Memorial Buildings
These buildings stand on part of the Old Bunhill Fields Burial Ground. The first freehold possessed by London Friends, used by them for burials during nearly two hundred years, it was closed to such purposes in 1855.
In 1880 The Metropolitan Board of Works purchased parts of the property for widening streets from which, and also from the site of these premises, all remains of interments being first carefully removed were re-interred in the ground adjoining. And out of the proceeds of such compulsory sales these buildings with their halls, coffee-tavern club and committee rooms have been built.
Near this spot George Fox was interred in 1690, previously Edward Burrough and some ninety other martyr Friends who died in London prisons had been buried here. To the memory of these ancient worthies and for the furtherance of religious, moral and philanthropic objects are these buildings now dedicated by The Society of Friends in London .... thereby to promote the best welfare & happiness of the surrounding population. London, 10, Mo., 1881.

Plaque Wording: Slavery During the Republic and Early Statehood 1836-1860
Between 1836 and 1860, the slave population in Texas grew from 5,000 to 182,566. The greatest increase in the number of slaves brought to Texas occurred from 1850 to 1865.
Among the expanding slave population were children who were purchased and brought to the State, or born in captivity to enslaved parents. Enslaved children typically wore slave cloth shirts made of homespun cotton or wool and were expected to do chores until they were old enough for field work. Enslaved women were expected to bear children and take care of their home life in the slave quarters, and to help farm cotton and other crops. Cotton produced by slave labor was the most important staple in the Texas economy, but slave labor was also integral to the economic growth of Texas in the lumber and construction industries. Several iconic Texas buildings including the 1853 limestone Texas Capitol, the 1856 Governor's Mansion, and the 1853 Pease Mansion were built with Black slave labor. Most slaves showed skills in farming, animal husbandry, construction, masonry, cooking and blacksmithing.

Southwark Cathedral, London Bridge, London SE1 9DA Mahomet Weyonomon(Royalty)(Photos Taken: 02-Jul-2017)Link
Plaque Wording: Seeking Justice from the Crown.
In 1736 Mahomet Weyonomon, a Mohegan Sachem (chief), died in Aldermanbury in the City of London. He was 36 years old. Foreigners could not be buried in the City, so he was carried across the river and buried near St Saviours Church, now Southwark Cathedral. The exact location of the grave is unknown. The sculpture behind you is his memorial.
Mahomets presence in London was the result of injustice and exploitation. His tribe had helped the first settlers in New England survive the bitter cold and repel Indian attacks. The Mohegans became allies of the English but settlers began to steal tribal lands. Despite support for the Mohegan cause from Queen Annes Commissioners in 1705, the lands were not returned.
Mohomet sailed to London in 1735 with three supporters to petition King George II for the return of the stolen lands. While awaiting an audience, Captain John Mason and Mahomet contracted smallpox and died. This memorial was erected at the request of the Mohegan tribe to honour a fallen chief. A stone was brought from Mohegan lands and carved with forms that reflect ancient custom by Peter Randall-Page. It was unveiled by Her Majesty The Queen, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, on 22nd November 2006 with the tribal chairman Bruce Two Dogs Bozsum and the US Ambassador - symbolically granting the audience Mahomet never received.
Mahomet wrote several languages including English and Latin. He was the grandson of Sachem Oweneco who was granted the return of Mohegan lands by an order of 1705 which was ignored by the Connecticut government. Sachem comes from the Mohegan word for stone or rock.
The grey plaque in front of the sculpture is mostly unreadable

His acquirements in classical and general literature, his love of science and art, his proficiency in music and the countenance by which he promoted their cultivation, were not less attractive than his singleness of heart, forgiving temper, generous appreciation of others, unobtrusive piety, and practical charity, rendering this refreshing fountain a suitable memorial of his worth.

A fishing community had probably already been settled here on crown land by 1820, five years after the shipwreck of the Arniston. After passing into the successive ownership of the Swart and Pratt families, the settlement and ten morgen of land were transferred to the Waenhuiskrans Fishermen's Union in 1937. In 1970, when threatened by the Group Areas Act, the village was saved and subsequently restored by the Preserve Arniston Committee. Kassiesbaai is one of the few remaining traditional fishing villages in the vernacular style once prevalent in the South Western Cape.
