Lady Harrington Floor Slab - Gayton Northamptonshire

Lady Harrington Floor Slab - Gayton Northamptonshire

The floor slab to Lady Harrington in St Mary’s Church, Gayton, is a fine example of 17th-century commemorative stonework, combining formal design with a strikingly personal tone. Carved from smooth local limestone, its simple border and restrained scrollwork at either end frame an inscription notable for both its clarity and warmth.
