Hyde Park The largest of London Parks extending to over 340 acres. In 1536 Henry VIII appropriated the monastic property of Ebury, Neate and Hyde and retained Hyde as a hunting ground. At the beginning of the seventeenth century the park was opened to the public. It soon became fashionable and remained a favourite place for Royalty to ride. The nineteenth century saw Hyde Park reach its peak as a place for society to parade. Hyde Park has been the setting for military encampments, duels, celebrations, firework displays and most notably, the Great Exhibition of 1851 in the Crystal Palace.

Finta Márton (1791 - 1853) E tábla szolgáljon emlékül a geszterédi földbirtokosnak, az 1848-1849-es forradalom és szabadságharc Szabolcs vármegyei újoncozási polgári biztosának, a vármegyei honvédelmi bizottmány tagjának, a Kállóban működő szabolcsi katonai bíróság elnökének, akinek hatékony és önzetlen nemzetőr és honvéd sorozási szervező munkáját az osztrákok megtorolták, és 1851-ben halálra ítélték. A „kegyelemből” 6 évi várbörtönre változtatott ítéletét fájdalmakkal és betegségekkel küzdve előbb Olmützben, majd Josefstadtban töltötte. Két évnyi fogság után a nagy magyar hazafi élete itt ért véget. A halál megakadályozta, hogy a forradalom és a szabadságharc hőse viszontláthassa mindig vágyott és szeretett szülőföldjét. A geszterédi vértanú iránti tiszteletből állíttatta Geszteréd önkörmányzata. 2019 március 15.

English translation: Martin Finta (1791 - 1853) This plaque should serve as a memorial to the landowner of Geszteréd, the civil commissioner for the renewal of the revolution and the war of independence of 1848-1849 in Szabolcs County, a member of the county defense commission, the president of the military court in Szabolcs in Kallo, whose effective and selfless national guard and army guard sergeant his organizing work was retaliated by the Austrians and sentenced to death in 1851. He changed his sentence from “mercy” to six years in prison, struggling with pain and illness, and spent it first in Olmutz and then in Josefstadt. After two years of captivity, the life of the great Hungarian patriot ended here. Death prevented the hero of the revolution and the struggle for freedom from seeing again his always desired and beloved homeland. It was erected in honor of the martyr of Geszteréd in Geszteréd.
