Medieval Cross Slabs
A pair of cross slab floor stones are set in the chancel floor, (1) one against the north wall and (2) against the south, both having one edge hidden by heating pipes.
(1) Cross head completely gone, but remainder of design quite clear; cross shaft rising from base with steps and swept top, with a vertical pair of shields, quite worn, on each side of the shaft. Black letter inscription in marginal label:
  Hic iacet Elizabeth [erased text] filia Thome Talbot militis de Bashall [que obiit ….] septembris anno domini mccccl quinto cuius anime propicietur deus amen
  Here lies Elizabeth [wife of John Stanhope] and daughter of Sir Thomas Talbot of Bashall [who died on the ?? day] of September the year of Our Lord 1455 on whose soul may God have mercy. Amen.

Of the church at Rampton, Throsby says:
  “In the south aisle at the east end are two monumental stones almost concealed by the floor of the pew where they lie. They are to the memory of Sir Richard Stanhope, mentioned by Thoroton, and his wife Joan; and his grandson’s wife, the daughter of Sir Thomas Talbot of Bashall.” (See No. V. and No. VII. in the Line of Descent.)
  A drawing of these two monumental stones is annexed in Throsby’s work (vol. iii. p. 248.) Each has a large cross in the centre, and several coats of arms quartered.
...
  The inscriptions on these two monumental stones are in Gothic letters, partly defaced, and consequently very hard to decipher. With the assistance of Sir Henry Ellis I make out the plates in Throsby as follows:
...
          Inscription on the second stone.
  Hic jacet Elizabetha filia Thoe Talbot Milit de Bashall Septemb Anno Domini MCCCCLI Cujus animæ propitietur Deus Amen
...
  At present (1854) the lord of the manor and owner of the lands is the Rev. Charles W. Eyre, and the incumbent of the parish is the Rev. T. G. Wintour. The latter gentleman has done me the favour to state in a letter, dated August 30. 1854, that the two Stanhope monuments at Rampton continue in good preservation. He adds: “They were rightly described by Throsby, as lying in the south aisle, partly concealed by a pew; but the present possessor of this property, the Rev. C. W. Eyre, thinking it a pity they should occupy such an obscure position, had them carefully removed about two years ago, to the floor of the chancel, where they now are.
