What is recorded here

St Francis' Abbey still holds a broken limestone graveslab, its upper surface carved with a floriated cross inside a double circle. Only one fleur-de-lis and a thin arc of that circle remain, yet the fragment still suggests a hand cutting faith into stone before time chipped it away.
