Tomb of Simon de Leybourne. The Leybournes were a prominentlocal family,titled the Lords of Berwick. The effigy has crossed legs which signifies that Simon was a Crusader and, given the date of his interment, c.1315, he would have most likely taken partin the Ninth Crusade 1271–72.

The earliest monument of which we can find any traces in this church is that of Leyburne, described in a former page. On a comparison of the pedigree of that family with the architecture of the tomb, it seems most probable that the individual represented was Simon de Leyburne, son of Roger de Leyburne
