The inscription tells that Gipsy Rodney Smith was born here 31 March 1860, preached the gospel of Christ to thousands on five continents for seventy years and was 'called home' journeying to America in 4 August 1947. The stone lies in a secluded clearing of the forest, not far from the busy A104, Woodford New Road, just north-west of Waterworks roundabout.
