Location Notes: The stone could not be located at the OS Grid Coordinate NT 3202 3347. However, there is a small possibility that the stone could be concealed behind ivy growing up the centre of the N boundary churchyard wall. The ivy would need to be removed before being able to definitively state the stone was no longer present, although this is over 30m from the grid reference.
