Description
This is a medieval grave slab set upright in the garden wall of the Old School House. It is believed that the slab was removed during extensive improvements to the church in 1826 and relocated here when the schoolmaster's house and garden were created shortly afterward. It was noted in its current position in the Inventory in 1925.
The slab is made of a single piece of limestone, measuring at least 1.8 meters long, 15 centimeters thick, and tapering from about 45 to 40 centimeters in width. The front of the slab, which now faces the road, features an incised cross in very shallow double lines that extend to the edges of the stone. Each arm of the cross has a rounded shape in the middle. The sides and back of the stone are rough-hewn, and no inscription has been observed.
It is listed as a medieval carved stone.
