The South Aisle fell down in 17../ (sic) and is now a ruin – at least a part of the outside South Wall is still standing. In that wall was an arch, under which was the Monumental Effigies of Sir John GROVE, now removed to the west End of the Nave. The lower part of the figure is broken off. The figure is in Armour, and lays on a low altar tomb, on the North side of which are 8 small shields in borders."
