Noted by Hasted, 1798 and inscription recorded in Rawlinson, Richard 'History and Antiquities of the Cathedral Church of Rochester', 1723, London, p.28 - view online on Google books.
Also in Registrum Roffense by John Thorpe (p.723) - online copy
Described as memorial in nave by Hasted but as gravestone by Thorpe and Rawlinson. Gravestone may imply on the floor, where it could well have been worn away by the passage of feet over the centuries.
