Stone monument to William Burnell (probably 1609) in the chancel of St John of Jerusalem's church, Winkburn. It consists of a large kneeling figure with sword, set into a recess. The inscription beneath is flanked by single decorative fluted brackets which support shaped urns and Doric columns with an architrave above, surmounted by a further inscription and entablaturd surmounted by decorative shields.
"Engraved on his tomb are the arms and portrait of William Burnell of 1570, his features worn away; he was auditor to Henry the Eighth, and brother of Edward Burnell whose fine monument is in Sibthorpe church. William Burnell of 1609 kneels in his wall monument, a lifesize figure in armour, holding a long metal sword; the inscription tells of the marriages he made for his four daughters."
