These finely carved effigies in the north aisle are of Sir Francis Wolryche (†1614) and his wife. He is an imposing figure in armour alongside that of his wife, 3 sons, 5 daughters, and a shrouded infant below. Most of the figures on the sides have lost their heads - possibly due to Civil War damage.
