The National Monuments Service's description
In St. Mary's graveyard (TS083-019020-) at the W end of the graveyard. A 17th-century graveslab (H 0.67m above ground; Wth 0.44m; T 0.1m) standing upright, embedded in the ground. It bears an inscription in raised lettering which reads: INO 1615 IN THE 2D YEARE… the remainder of the inscription was buried, presumably when the graveslab was placed upright and reused in the 18th century, the later inscription reads: James Legge Died Aug.st 3d 1749 Aged 50 Years. The back of the slab is roughly dressed.
