A brass in his memory was put up by his father on the Cloister wall, near the grave. He is depicted in his scholar's gown, wearing a small silver cross, his hands clasped in prayer.

Inscription
His name and dates are engraved on a brass on the Cloister wall, with these lines written by his father, the Archbishop of Canterbury:
O Amor, O Pastor, qui quem Tibi legeris Agnum
Vitali tinguis Morte, sinuque foues,
Nos, qui tam dulces per Te reminiscimur annos,
Duc, ubi non caeco detur Amore fui.
[O Love, O Shepherd, who dost touch with life-giving death the lamb whom Thou hast chosen for Thyself, and dost cherish him in Thy bosom, Lead us, who by Thy mercy look back upon such happy years, to that place where it may be granted us to enjoy a love without blindness.]
