Brass of Reginald Malyns and two wives c 1385. My wife, Anthea remembers, as a schoolgirl, kneeling on the floor with her friends doing rubbings of these brasses. This would be severely frowned upon nowadays. It is a shame, but understandable, that these have now been taken from their original positions and mounted on wood panels on the walls of the chancel. This spoils them for me, but I suppose it protects them. I have made the pictures black and white because the warm wood colour spoils the effect.

Lost sword hilt added from rubbing in Antiquaries collection
Reginald died on 2 August 1384. If The Black Prince had lived to become King of England then Reginalds career would probably have advanced further. He was succeeded by his son, Edmund (II), and survived by his second wife, Florence. He and his two wives were commemorated in a brass which was laid in the north aisle. The style is London B with Reginald shown in armour. The two female figures are slightly different. The transfer from indent to the wall of the chancel has maintained their relative positions and the one with the dog is his first wife, Eleanor, who was living in l36430 but dead before l368. He married Florence probably in early 1373 but certainly after 1368. A rubbing made in 1813 shows the hilt of the sword in better condition. The inscription in French has also survived but the shield to the left of his head is missing. The
(untinctured) arms on the shield were Malyns, Ermine on a fess gules three billets or impaling . . . . lozengy . . . . .
