A small double grave-cover 0.59m x 0.58m x 0.53m thought to commemorate male twins (Boyle suggests that a similar slab at St. Lawrence Church, Pittington, County Durham which is also spilt into two panels commemorates twins). It now lies in the south transept but was in the churchyard in the C19. The upper surface of the stone is divided into two panels, separated by a groove. The panels are plain except for an incised border. The long sides of the stone each have an arcade of pointed arches, and at the head end a pair of cross heads carved in relief. The cross heads are of the round-leaf bracelet form. That on the left is quite conventional. The one on the right is set diagonally and has more pronounced pointed buds {Ryder, 1985, p 99}.

Description
A slab of grey limestone, 1.87m x 1.15m x 1.09m, now set upright in the blocking of the C17 gateway of Gateshead House, which has been re-erected in the forecourt of the chapel. The slab has been a late medieval floor stone with a cross and marginal inscription both inlaid in brass. The slab is now badly weathered. The cross has been a striaght-arm form with a square panel at the head centre and terminating each arm. The lower part of the stone is completely erased. Hutchinson (1823, Vol. II, p 573) refers to this slab as lying in the ruins of the chapel: "….some steps at the east end leading to the altar are yet remaining; near them is a grave stone, on which is cut a cross…… it has also the marks of an inlaid border about it, but the brass is gone". Floor stones of this type are comparatively rare in the North of England, and there is no close parallel for the cross design in Durham. Has general appearance of being C15 or early C16 {Ryder, 1985, p 89-90}.
