<p style='text-align: justify;'><p>Carved and painted clunch, topped with an achievement of the arms of Lyng. The stone is badly eroded and has virtually lost all colour. Cole 1742 recorded the inscription ‘<i>hic jacet Anna Lyng, Virgo casta, Faemina omnibus virtutbus exculta, de generosa Prosapia Petri et Margareta uriunda, Anima efflavit, Anno Domini</i>.’ (Here lies Anna Lyng, a chaste Virgin, a woman cultivated in all virtues, originating from the noble Family of Peter and Margaret, she breathed her last in the year of our Lord....'). A C20 pencilled comment on this drawing, probably by Benton, says ‘<i>the rest of the inscription is not given, but is still legible</i>’.</p><p>Bingley and Cockerill 2006; Palmer 1932; RCHME 1968</p></p>
