The inscription on the plinth reads...
"This monument was erected in 1845 by public subscription to the memory of
Admiral Lord Collingwood who in the Royal Sovereign on 21st October, 1805
led the British fleet into action at Trafalgar and sustained the sea fight for upwards of an hour before the other ships were in gunshot which caused Nelson to exclaim:
'See how that noble fellow Collingwood takes his ships into action'"
