What is recorded here

Graveslab in Palmerstown stands as the Flatesbury Monument, a tall limestone slab bearing an eight-pointed cross and two heraldic shields. It possibly marks the 1564 marriage of Eleanor Wogan and James Flatesbury, turning a quiet church niche into a record of love and status. The carved lines still catch light, inviting wonder about the lives that shaped them.
