St John - Grave slab, Newton Reigny

St John
Newton Reigny
Cumbria

There are only two medieval grave slabs here at Newton Reigny. I haven't photographed the biggest one, which measure some two and half by one and half metres.

This photo above shows the second of the two slabs, this one layining in the church yard. There are no visible carvings on its surfaces now, but it has a well defined chamfer to its edges, and possibly dates from the 13th century.
