Transcriber's notes
The dates in the inscription are calculated in the Roman way, by subtraction from Kalends, Nones and Ides, with some reservations:John Chisholm was born on 12 Feb 1752, or pridie Idus Februariis MDCCLII, not as given here.
And he was consecrated bishop on 12 Feb 1792 - I have taken Nonis to mean 9th, but if it means Nones that would be 5 Feb.
