This is all that is left of a Jacobean tomb that was probably destroyed during the time
of the Civil Wars.
The figure, which only goes down to the knees, is depicted kneeling on a cushion,
the lower legs never having been sculptured. The effigy has shoulder length hair
and is wearing a gorget, shoulder plates, a breastplate with a pronounced central ridge and a sword
belt with what looks like a bread bag on the left side. The hands are broken off.
This is almost certainly a member of the Turville Family. A prime candidate for the effigy,
taking the style of presentation, is Henry Turville who was buried at Aston Flamville on
16 February 1616.
