The image is a photograph of a green plaque on a stone wall. The plaque is circular in shape and has white text on it. The text reads "John Richard Walbran, historian and antiquarian, born 1817, lived here. By profession a wine merchant, he was a learned chronicle of the history of the city of Ripon and the area around. His guidebooks went into many archaeological excavations at Fountains Abbey. He died in 1869 and is buried in Holy Trinity churchyard, opposite this building." Below the text, there is an illustration of a horseshoe.
