The main slab has a high relief, depicting Sir Edmond Goldyng and his wife Elizabeth Flemyng with decomposed bodies. Side slabs present the coat of arms of Sir Edmond Goldyng, his wifes Elizabeth Flemyng, Blanche Cruce and Johanne Fynglasse, and his son Walter whose coat of arms is impaled with that of his wife Elizabeth Darcee.
