The National Monuments Service's description
Wilde (1867, 69) recorded the discovery of ‘two remarkable tombstones’ in the rubbish that had accumulated under the site of the chancel arch of the church (GA069-001013-). Both were ‘broken and without inscriptions’. One was ‘an unhewn, irregularly shaped flag, 27 inches [0.68m] by 20 [0.5m], lying underneath a sycamore tree, that nearly fills the choir’, and the other, ‘bearing a fleur-de-lis ornament’ (see GA069-001021-) was visible a short distance from it. The unhewn slab was not located. See also GA069-001015-.
