"Elizabeth uxon's quae obiit...di aplis a dni MDIII". Carved in fine raised Gothic script. Apparently the work "valecit" was carved in error for "valecti" (from valettus", i.e. yeoman). The grave is probably that of the William Nettleton who became park-keeper of Roundhay in 1488, he was succeeded by Sir John Nevell by 21 Feb. 18 Hen VIII (1502-3). He had the lease of the manor of Thorner during the reign of Henry VII (Kirkpatrick). It is the oldest monument remaining either in the church or churchyard. G. E.
