What is recorded here

A stone, said to have been taken from the friary (WM029-042001-), lies in the back garden of the public house at Coosan Point (WM029-042051). The owner refused to give permission to see it but examination of a photograph indicates that it is a small coffin-shaped stone decorated in low relief with a pointed arch on which is incised: GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO. In the spandrels on either side of the arch are angels' heads and a leavy spray while inside the arch is a three storeyed battlemented castle with two animals on either side as supporters and another animal on top (Bradley et. al. 1985, 45).
