In the chancel is a brass to Edmond Howton of Wormley, and Annes his wife, and 5 sons. There are probably some daughters missing. There is part of a marginal inscription showing the date 1479. Another brass in the chancel is to John Cok, yeoman, his wife and 10 sons and daughters. Between the two figures is a strip of brass with trees and a dog eschewing a hare. |
