History:
The Manor of Draycot was held by the Venoix family who established a church in the late 12th Century. During the 13th Century the manor passed to the Cerne family who held it until 1452. The church is unusual in having a sunken Chancel. The earliest feature in the Chancel is the double piscina, used by the priest to wash his hands as well as wine to be drained away after the service.

The upper part of the cushion and the tip of the bascinet (helmet sometimes worn under the great helm) have been restored and the indent in the slab shows that originally his tournament helm and crest were above his head with small shields, presumably of his and his wife’s arms. The French inscription, not reproduced, can be translated: "Monsieur (the normal address for a knight) Edward Cerne, knight, with Elyne his wife, lies here—on whose souls God of his pity have mercy, Amen". In a charming gesture, found on a small number of monuments at this period, husband and wife hold hands.
Standing on a grassy mount, an early example of this convention, which replaced the symbolic beasts by a diminutive Paradise garden, Sir Edward wears a mixed armor of mail and plate. Under the plain jupon (a tight fitting garment covering the breast and back plates), can be seen the mail hauberk (shirt). This is much shorter than in the earlier period when it was the main defensive garment. The sword belt is of hinged plates with decorated panels and has both the misericorde (or dagger) and the sword.
His widow is dressed as a vowess, that is a widow who had taken a vow before the bishop not to remarry, in kirtle (or long gown) mantle, and the barbe (a close fitting veil with a goffered panel under the chin) and veil like a nun. The brass was presumably made soon after the death of Edward for it belongs to a group made at a London workshop between 1385 and 1394.
Sir Edward Cerne succeeded his brother, John de Cerne, in 1348 and was knighted by 1376, acting as an assessor of taxes in 1379 and as collector in 1392. He married twice, first before 1352 and then to Joan but neither the date of his first wife’s death nor of his second marriage is known. He died in 1393, being succeeded by the son of his first marriage, and his widow was allotted her dower in 1394. She appointed a new rector in 1408 to Draycot. She died in 1418
