SCULPTURED STONE [parish churchyard] "In the churchyard, there is a stone about five feet in length and two in breadth and thickness; it is hollow and divided into two cells, one considerably larger then the other. The ends of one of the sides are covered with carved figures and hieroglyphics; an imperial crown, and a man on horseback in the act of darting a lance or javelin, as also appears to be a camel, are still plainly distinguishable. It is probable that it is the half of a sarcophagus or stone-coffin; and tradition describes it as a tomb of the prince of Loellin, who died of his wounds in the neighbourhood, and had 'his remains deposited there. This sculptures stone was examined several years ago by the celebrated antiquary Dr. [Doctor] Samuel Hibbert who took a copy of the inscription upon it."
