This is the memorial stone of Most Rev Archbishop Denis Eugene Hurley, O.M.I. (Oblates of Mary Immaculate). The tombstone gives the Latin version of his name as is traditional in the Catholic Church for very senior clerics as Dionysius Eugenius Hurley. He was Roman Catholic Vicar Apostolic of Natal and Bishop, and later Archbishop of Durban, from 1946 until 1992. This is a floor plaque inside the cathedral as he is buried under the floor, as are all the bishops of that diocese who died in South Africa. Information by Jane O'Connor.
