Under tower C18 funeral hatchments

These square panels, set at angles to the vertical, are funeral hatchments. Generally panels on a black (sable) background, they depict the coat of arms and family details of the deceased. Originally they were placed over the door to the owner's house but carried to the church on their passing. Hatchment is derived from early French, meaning achievement.
