The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with the medieval church (KK023-030001-) in Grove. Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 385) refers to, ‘a coffin-shaped slab, with a very beautiful raised cross, but bearing no inscription’, beside the doorway externally. Stylistically this suggests a graveslab of late 13th/early 14th-century date.
