Here is buried a man distinguished outstandingly with very great gifts of mind and body - William Draper, Knight of the Bath, educated at Eton, then at King's College, Cambridge as both undergraduate and Fellow, he graced both positions by his character and his studies, yet by nature he was given the kind of mind that delighted in academic matters as a retirement hobby. He gave himself wholeheartedly to military honour and in different parts of Europe and Asia he earned his salary. In Western India in 1758 he was in command of the Royal Army and defended for a long time and with bravery the citadel of St George which was being besieged by the French. At last when a sally happened he drove back the enemy troops by taking the prefect of the legion captive. In 1762 when the Hispanic War was happening, he was both the originator and the leader of an expedition against Manila. To those who were fighting him he left no doubt that the name of Britain was superior, but he was also distinguished by his clemency. Farewell, most firm of leaders, quietly liberal! Farewell. This is a token of your virtues handed down by young men who witnessed your friendship and thence to posterity. He died in AD 1787 Aged 66 in the year of Christ.
