What is recorded here

Within the chancel of the friary church (GA127-019----), this recumbent graveslab (L 1.97m; max. Wth 0.55; base Wth 0.51; T 0.01m) is the western one in a row of three (see also GA127-019001-, GA127-019002-) set in the floor immediately in front of the E window. Described by Bradley and Dunne (1992, 163) as ‘bevelled coffin-shaped slabs’ of 14th/15th-century date. This slab, which is broken in two pieces, bears a Latin cross in low relief. The shaft (Wth 0.14m) is decorated with a curvilinear pattern but it is difficult to make out due to the growth of lichen on the slab. The arms end in a fleur-de-lis motif as does the head of the shaft. The following image has been uploaded: GA127-019003-_01.jpg Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 1 May 2019
