ROGERS. COOTE and CRAWFORD
Notes: 

A R.S.. Part of the top of the stone is beginning to flake away. The first part of the Ins. is cut in low false relief. The sixth line is also in false relief, but the continuation of the Ins. was abandoned and then continued in incised lettering (?at a later date). It is unclear whether there was any relationship between the Crawfords and the Rogers and Cootes, or whether the stone was simply reused.
