The National Monuments Service's description
In a niche in the N wall of a church (KD019-014001-). A tall, gently tapering, limestone slab (H 1.65m; Wth at top 0.6m; Wth at base 0.55m) carries an eight-pointed cross of mixed floriated and pointed terminals, on a stepped-base, and two heraldic shields, carved in relief. Known as the 'Flatesbury Monument', it possibly commemorates the marriage of Eleanor Wogan and James Flatesbury in 1564 . (Vicars 1903-5, 92-4; Meagher 1979-80, 117)
