Against the West wall of the South Aisle of the Nave is a large slab, removed from the top of an alter tomb, bearing two brass effigies of Robert Albyn and Margaret, his wife, which date from the 14th Century (C.1360).
The inscription reads: -
“Robert Albyn lies here and Margaret his wife with him. May the Lord have mercy on their souls. Amen”.

obert Albyn and his wife, Margaret Albyn. A really splendid piece of the 14th Century. We have the husband and wife, standing, facing the viewer directly, hands raised in prayer, as is normal, and each resting their feet on a heraldic animal, which is more usual for sculpture - his is a lion, hers a dog. This is because they are lying down, and she has a cushion under her head, ornamented and multi-tasselled. Above each is their shield of arms, and below his feet are the remains of the two line inscription - as ever, difficult to read, so Robert reads more as 'Robrd' and the Albyn has a small 'a' looking like a 'z'. He is in full plate mail, with conical helmet with chain mail to cover the neck, nice gloves, sword and dagger attached to a double belt, and pointed, armadillo-flexible boots. She has some headpiece, and wears a long, open cloak over her long dress, belted at the waist to emphasise her figure. The cloak is held with a cord across the front and hanging down to tasselled ends. She wears the sleeves of her shirt over the lower palms of her hands.
