A very curious monument
of about 1330. A female figure looks over the shoulder
of the male figure; they are carved from the same block.
Was it ever recumbent? Although sometimes called a 'male
civilian' he appears to be wearing a mail shirt, the
collar and cuffs of which can be seen. Set into the west
wall under the tower. On the figure's left side is
written: Wilhelmus de [Jarpenville] although the
surname is no longer legible. |

There is said
to be effigies of a knight and lady of about 1300 in the
church. However the church, which is on the edge of the
village, is locked by a padlock on the entrance to the
porch; it was thus not possible to see of there was a
list of key holders. You can park outside the church O/S
