The inscription of this memorial tablet reads: "This Khachkar (Armenian stone cross) was presented to Holgate School in recognition of work undertaken by Britain in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Armenia in 1988. The Lord Byron School, Guimri, Republic of Armenia, was built to replace one of the destroyed schools and subsequently a link was formed between this school and The Holgate School, Hucknall. The Khachkar is placed here in memory of Father Fred Green." The stone itself can be seen here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1906495 .
