Made of sandstone, the monument for Thomas Galverley features a low solid base, while the monument for William Crawshaw is raised on two low scrolled pedestals. Both slabs have short inscriptions in crudely formed capitals, with the inscription for Thomas Galverley including the phrase "AND.ELIN HIS.WIFE".
