The National Monuments Service's description
Lying at the W end of the N aisle of the nave of St Mary’s parish church (KK026-010012-). Limestone tapering slab (L 2.49m; Wth at top 0.65m; Wth at base 0.45m; T 0.1m) with a raised eight-armed floriated cross-head, with the fleur-de-lys touching to form a circular arrangement. Two small leaves protrude from either side of the cross-shaft just below the cross-head and two further leaves/fleur-de-lys spring downward from the cross-shaft below this. There is a bulging knop just below the springing vegetation and a circular knop just above the cross base. The cross base is formed by two fleur-de-lys splayed outwards. The slab is edged with a roll-moulding (diam.0.05m).
