The stone is embedded in a corner of this http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2130363 library. The foundation records that the architect was from the town, but the builder was from Kidderminster. Observers of minutiae will notice that the tail of the Q in ESQUIRE is pointing the wrong way, and the 3 Ns in ABERGAVENNNY in the lower left corner. If these errors were detected at the time, I guess they were minor enough to be acceptable. Otherwise a new stone would have had to be used.
