It was directed in his will that he should be buried at the head of his father, but his tomb was later moved to its current location on the wall of the north aisle
The inscription on the tomb reads: "Here lies Reginald, Lord Cobham of Starborough. As a soldier he was brave as a leopard, Wary in council, yet bold enough when occasion required. He carried away renown from all lands. He was sumptuous in his housekeeping, handsome, affiable, munificent and generous; and when it pleased the Most High that he should die, he breathed his last. May he be glorified in the heavens On the 3rd July 1403 he migrated to ...., May true rest be his, Amen, Our Father."
Reginald fought in Flanders and Gascony, and was a comissioner appointed to rule during the minority of Richard II. Reginald was exiled abroad where he met Henry Bolingbroke, later Henry IV. In 1402 he was in France fighting

John Hauley
1408
St Savior's Church, Dartmouth, Devon, England
(Link)
DARTMOUTH, DEVON, St.. Saviour
Effigies of John Hauley, founder of the chancel, died [1408], in armor, and his two wives, Joan, whose hand he holds, 1394, and Alice (mutilated), [daughter and heir of Chief Justice Tresilian] 1403, with triple canopy and foot inscription, both mutilated; four shields lost. On the floor of the chancel
St Saviour, Dartmouth, Devon
A brass rubbing of the brass placed in the chancel, but locked away, of John Hawley II and his two wives.
He was born in 1340 the son of John Hawley I in the village of Allaleigh. He was a seaman and ship owner who trade mainly in wine. During these days he was also something of a pirate and thought nothing of re-leaving spanish vessels of their cargo and storing it in his warehouse on Fosse street. He was mayor of Dartmouth fourteen times and an MP for twenty years. He would have meet Chaucer when he visited Dartmouth in 1373 and may give credit to the idea that the Shipman in the Canterbury Tales may heave been based on Hawley.
He died in December 1408 and is buried under the chancel with his wives.
On his right is his first wife, Joanna, by whom he had a son. She died in 1394. He later married Alicia (on the left), the daughter of the famous and very wealthy Cornish family Tresilian. She died in 1403.
