Each tie has central bosses carved exuberantly with grinning heads, heavy foliage etc. Screen wall to chancel and chancel arch are Victorian so is the boarded wagon roof of the chancel.
In front of it, but unrelated, a tomb chest of 1614.
The 3 figures are represented as incised effigies on the slab, which is heavily worked all over.
they are carved as frontal figures, their proportions almost grotesquely distorted, but in very detailed rendering of costume etc. Behind this, to the east, is another tomb chest, from the same school, this is dated 1597 in memory of William and Catherine Jervis and they again appear richly detailed in continuous patterning incised on the slab.
William lived to be 94, and fathered a great many children who are again represented as frontal figures on two sides of the base.
Facing west, are 4 shrouded children flanking a male figure (perhaps the father or an elder son) and on the south side 4 boys, a man, 3 girls, a woman and 2 shrouded figures.
2 ample figures kneel in a predella with an inscription recording their numerous virtues.
They are William Jervis, d.1618 whom it commemorates, and Elizabeth his wife who commissioned it.
