Notes: 

The Ins. is cut across the middle of a Rect. R.S.. The lettering is well cut in low false relief. The surface is worn and crudely tooled. Howel(l) Price is also mentioned on a block of stone (L) now incorporated in the Lynch Memorial Window on the Lombard/Market St. side of the churchyard.
