The image is a blue plaque on a beige wall. The plaque is circular in shape and has a white border. On the top of the plaque, there is a coat of arms with a shield and a crown on top. Below the shield, it reads "Eugene Aram was an 18th century schoolteacher who lived and taught here in White Horse Yard. He was an exceptional linguist, and studied in particular Celtic dialects. He has been the subject of many Celtic plays, poems, and a film. Eugene Aram became notorious for his support involvement in the murder of another resident here, Daniel Clarke, who was convicted on very dubious evidence, and executed at York on 6th August 1759.
