Headstone. 1711. Carved Portland stone, with incised inscriptions obverse and reverse. Naive Baroque style headstone with pediment top with raised scrollwork above 'memento mori'. Incised inscription to Mrs Honor East, wife of William East, (d.1711 aet 43) 'one of those prudent wives whose virtue obliged a good report'. Reverse chamfered and later inscribed to her husband, Mr MW East (d.1721 aet 55) 'who was a tender master many years to ye poor children of Christ's Hospital London, kept in this town'. Inscriptions worn but given in full in Turnor (1830). Headstone possibly moved during rebuilding of church 1891-93 as Turnor locates it north of the church.
