In the educational and plaque theme here is one of the most impressive and elaborate that I have come across in the local area...It's on Hampstead School on Westbere Road and is the original foundation stone from the school at Hoxton, east London:
SERVE AND OBEY is the motto
HABERDASHER ASKE'S BOYS SCHOOL
ON THE FOUNDATION OF
ROBERT ASKE. AD MDCXCII
REMOVED FROM HOXTON
AND ERECTED HERE MCMII
So founded 1692 and the plaque (and the school) moved in 1902

I think it's slightly curious it wasn't moved when the school moved out in the 1960's.
