The National Monuments Service's description
A graveslab lies prostrate in the NW angle of the central portion of the W porch of St. Mary's church (TS083-019001-). The limestone slab (L 1.04m; Wth 0.76m) bears an english inscription written in horizontal bands across the slab and along the dexter side, in false-relied capital lettering. Though the inscription is quite worn a portion is still legible: HERE LIES ….E..THEIR CHILDREN MARY WHO DIED Y..2..OF MARCH…16…THOMAS W…..OF………….1682 2 OF …… The lower half of the slab is blank, it may have had decoration that is worn away.
