This headstone commemorates Jane Musgrave and is made of sandstone, standing 1.75 metres high. It features an elaborately shaped top with a raised border, and includes bold carvings of an angel head above wings and foliage.

The inscription reads:
"In memory of Jane Musgrave Daughter of John and Jane Musgrave of Stotfould and Niece of Rebecca Elstob of Stockton who departed this Life February the 18th. 1786 Aged 18 years.
When she was here, she was right dear to me, But now she is gone, our Saviour Christ to see, Where in good time I hope I shall her find To Ease my troubled heart and afflicted mind."
