English: Ledger stone in the Lane Chapel of St Andrew's Church, Cullompton, Devon, of John Lane (died 1529), a wealthy clothier who together with his wife built the magnificent "Lane Chapel" on the south side of St Andrew's Church. He was buried at the east end of his Chapel, where survives his ledger-stone, in the middle of the aisle and now mostly covered by box-pews and missing the monumental brasses of which only the matrices remain, in the shapes of a man and a woman, wearing a headdress, facing each other, the man on the left and his wife on the right, with two lozenge-shaped heraldic shields above, also missing their brasses. The heads of the figures face the west-end of the Chapel. The ledger-line is inscribed in Latin as follows:

Hic jacet Joh(anne)s Lane, M(er)cator, huiusq(ue) capellae fundator cum Thomasi(n)a uxore sua, qui dict(us) Johan(nes) obi(i)t XV Feb(ruarii) annoque Dom(ini) mill(ensim)o CCCCCXXVIII.
