This inscription is on a small stone near the ground on the right-side front wall of the former St Paul's vicarage, built in 1905 at 1A Observatory Street.
The Bishop of Reading served the Diocese of Oxford as a Suffragan Bishop, and in 1905 the position was held by Leslie Randall.
St Paul's Church closed in 1964, and this house ceased to be a vicarage shortly afterwards.
The inscription can be seen to the left of the base of the lamppost in the Google StreetView below:
