It is in the form of a hand written roll and is to the right of the
nave on a stone column; the lettering has faded and looks water damaged.
In the south aisle, in the east window is a stained glass window with
a furthr scroll at the bottom. The names for ease of written have
been merged here, those on the main scroll are marked † and
those on the east window scroll *.
