† There is a drawing of this monument
(from which the image here is taken) in Charles Boutell,
Christian Monuments in England and Wales
(George Bell, 1854). He writes that the slab is very large and
now set below the pavement in which two circular holes have been
cut so the heads may be seen. He, quite rightly in my
view, expresses regret that the slab has not been raised to the
present floor level. This appears to be still the case and even
the holes are now covered by circular trap doors which you are
asked not to open.

ale'. When news reached them that he was beyond hope the boys
smashed furniture in his room and burned it on a bonfire. By
