Tomb of John (d.1587) and William (d.1722) Haydon, with coat of arms, St Mary's church, Ottery St Mary.

John Haydon, died in 1587, and is the first Haydon buried in Ottery St Mary Church.

William Haydon listed appears to be also buried with him in 1722. The old engraving above John’s tomb appears to have been chiseled out and now bears the newer 1722 dedication to William while the old date of John’s 1587 still appears on the bottom.

The newer engraving reads -
