"Against the south wall of the nave is a mural monument of alabaster; on the summit are these three shields; Bexwell impaling, argent, on a chevron, between three pellets, two in chief charged with as many martlets, and one in base with a trefoil, argent, three mascles, or, Pratt; Bexwell alone, and Pratt alone. On a black marble in the centre:

In hac nave subpositæ sunt reliquiæ Henrici Bexwell in hoc agro Norfolc. armig. in quo gens illa nobilis et antiqua mascula desinit, ad senium vergens uxorem duxit Ursulam e proximâ Prattorum de Riston nobili itidem prosapiâ oriundam, e quâ tres habuit liberos, Gregorium Susannam, vivente patre mortuos, et Franciscam solummodo superstitem. Natus erat Henricus Octob. 17, 1581, obiit Julii 8, 1654. Mœrens Ursula hoc sic fixum voluit.

—On each side of this inscription is a lace or fillet by way of ornament; over that, on the right hand, is an hourglass, and over that on the left, a book is carved. On the basis;— Tu temet lector lectites diesq; tuos numera, &c. Ut Psal. 90, 12."
