Full description
Copeland, G. W., 1942, Eleventh Report of the Plymouth and District Branch, 125 (Article in Serial). SDV145407.
Slab tomb 0.98 meters long x 0.66 meters wide x 0.914 meters thick with a 0.641 meter base. The monument in Bickleigh churchyard is of Elvan, a large single piece of worked stone. It bears an elaborate cross-fleury, whose arms end in fleur-de-lis, on a base of two degrees. From each of the side arms depends a ribbon-like appendage on one of which is a representation of a chalice. Such a device on a memorial is probably unique in the country. It is probably the tomb of Thomas Pontyngton, Vicar of "Bickleigh" in 1373.
