In Memory of Sir Thomas Danyers of Bradley within Appleton, Knight, who died AD Mccclx. He was present at the Battle of Crescy, the xxvth day of May, AD Mcccxlvi, and there

Note
This memorial was created in MDCCCLXXVI (1876),
530 years after the battle.
The tale it tells may be more a legend than an eye-witness account.
It says that Sir Thomas died in MCCCLX (1360).
Some records show he died about 1354.
