There is a rectangular plaque attached on the backrest of this bench which is inscribed as follows:
‘YOU CAN’T COME BACK JOHN
WE KNOW THAT’S TRUE
BUT WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE
AND REMEMBER YOU’
The bench is positioned on the south-eastern perimeter of the churchyard and affords views of the church and the churchyard by the side of the church.
