The Sharpe family lived in the Manor of Ninn in Great Chart, and moved to Westwell in the early 18th century. The brass was originally in the middle aisle and the original matrix lies outside in the churchyard path.. William wears a long gown with a rosary hanging from his belt. His 5 wives wear long dresses with angular headdresses. He died September 1499, and his remains lie in the church.
