The precise location of this effigial tomb has not been identified. Said to have been originally located in St. Mary's Roman Catholic church and reputedly found while digging foundations for either the church (in 1857) or the mortuary chapel (in 1939). It was broken by a falling tree in 1959 but the whereabouts of the pieces is unknown. It depicted an abbess in a long gown with pleated skirt, wearing a low flat headdress with veil. Hunt (1974, 236, 244) dates it to the 16th century (Bradley et. al. 1985, 49).
