Surname: 
MURE or MUREfNEl and TUrRNl
Notes: 

A large R.S. which has been reused as paving in Lynche's Aisle. It has a very concise Ins. in low false relief. It has been broken in two places and repaired in cement. The bottom of the slab seems to have been partly chiselled and there are traces of mortar on the surface. The interpretation of the second surname is uncertain, it may be TVR or TVRN. The stone is very worn and polished.
