Was erected to the memory of the Bancroft family of Worcester, Massachusetts. Aaron Bancroft was a revolutionary soldier, clergyman and author. His son, George (1800-1891), was born in Worcester. A distinguished historian and statesman, he established the Naval Academy at Annapolis when Secretary of the Navy under President Polk. He founded the Round Hill School at Northampton, the first serious effort in the U.S. to elevate secondary education to its rightful place
