Cut benchmark on the south west angle, west face of King Charles the Martyr church, Shelland.
"Originally there was a small chapel here, ca. 1330, but it was not until the time of the Civil War that it was rebuilt by Thomas Cropley and re-dedicated. It was virtually rebuilt again in 1767 for Richard Ray, the local landowner, whose coat of arms and date are over the east window."
