On a slab in the floor at the east end, south side of Communion Table:

(Badly Worn)

“His ……………………………..

Pembrock Baront by Ann one of T E daughters of Right Honourable

Sir John Pe……………………..  second son unto Sir ………………ips

of Picton in Cov.”

[note:  There are two large slab stones with crosses incised; one was found under the Communion Rails.  It has four small crosses in the corner besides the large long one. The other had only one long cross; it was found under the Reading Desk.  The first was probably the altar stone of the church, the second the altar of the Eastington chancel, for its measurements exactly corresponded with marks in the eastern wall. These have now been placed on the Chancel floor, in the situation least likely to be trodden on.]
