Ledger slabs
A ledger slab is an inscribed stone slab laid into the floor of a church to commemorate or mark the place of the burial of a wealthy deceased person. The term derives from the Old English liċġan, meaning to lie down. They may be made of Tournai marble, Sussex Marble, Nottingham alabaster or Swithland Slate.
