Notes:

1. This was found in a cupboard in 1998.

2. The red cross at the top was re-touched by those who rediscovered the memorial and wished to restore the faded writing. The red ink used ran slightly, so a black border was drawn round the relevant letters. The parchment has been touched up where the lettering had faded, and placed in an oak frame with glass front.
