Inscriptions: Irene Frude
The above cast-iron plaque is on the breeze-block wall of an alleyway off the south side of Little Clarendon Street, near Walton Street. It reads:

[In this place Irene Frude, the most kindly foster-mother of alumni
of Keble College, supplied huge breakfasts each day for almost 35 years;
and mindful of this, those same alumni arranged the setting up
of this monument on 29 October 1976]
