Featuring a cross-legged knight the tomb is mutilated and canopied. The knight is in mail with a surcoat and dates to 1310-20. The base of the tomb features shields with a chevron design. At the knight’s feet are two animals which appear to be a cross between a dog and a lion. At the head of the knight is a small child.
Pevsner reports that this knight is most probably the man who built the south aisle.
