 A few years ago an incised alabaster slab was discovered during 

 some repairs (probably the last re-seating of the church) on the 

 north side of the nave near the pulpit. It was sent to a builder 

 in Derby for restoration. After some time had elapsed the late 

 Vicar called at the stoneyard to make enquiries about the 

 memorial. It could not be found, and it was eventually ascer- 

 tained that one of the workmen had conveyed this interesting 

 relic to some part of the town to serve for a cover for a drain on 

 which he was then engaged. In the centre of the slab was a 

 floriated cross on steps. The marginal inscription was as follows : 



" 1bic jacet /Hiaroareta Sminb filia IRocjeri Smptb, 

 pewterer, et ujor IRooeri Xirersacjc qua: obiit jjij 

 Me mensis IRoveiubris B°. H)ni. /ID°.(I(I(r(IC°.|*J*5555. 

 cuius anima: propicietur Beus. Hinen."
