Abstract:During recent work on the NADFAS Record of the Furnishings of St. Dunstan's Church, Mayfield, East Sussex, it became possible to examine and record a floor-slab to members of the Penkherst/Penkhurst family of ironmasters of Coushopley Furnace in the same parish. The last time that this slab was studied was by William Courthope in the 1840s, when he had had, so he wrote, to consult Sir William Burrell's notes in the British Museum in order to complete the transcription.
