On the southside, opposite the Rice tomb, is a 16th century effigy of an unknown knight. The limestone mensa is resting on a modern stone table. The head is lying on a single cushion and the feet are resting on his faithful dog. If the dog is growling it symbolises his master had a violent death. The knights face has been damaged, which is quite common, as the medieval knights had many enemies. Lying on the floor below the knights head is a 16th century female effigy, see bottom image. She is wearing a V-necked pleated gown and her hands are joined in prayer.
