The grave of Stephen Perse is commemorated by a memorial in the Caius College chapel and he is remembered at the College's annual Perse Feast. His epitaph there reads:

Christian surnamde Stephan Perse I hight
Sole life with God alone, my crowne my light
With living God eternall life I live
This now my song: to sole God praise I give

This epitaph by me Perse was devizd
To none else my thoughts better were comprizd.

"Perse Feast". Tämä ei heti unohdu.
