One tablet was taken from the wall of Sutton's original hotel, while the other was made in 1860 shortly after the hotel was demolished, both being mounted on a square memorial plinth, topped by a lamp post. This memorial stood close to the corner of the site of the hotel, and would today have been near the middle of the present roundabout. The tablets were re-sited to create the present memorial when the road layout was remodelled in the early 20th century.
