Boxted All Saints church
The open porch with gates rather than doors greet you as you approach the church. On the south-east nave buttress you will find a scratch dial. Inside the church there are two very rare life-size effigies, carved in wood, of William & Alice Poley dated 1579. There is another of Sir John Poley (1638) in the family chapel, carved in alabaster. He is, unusually, depicted in a standing position and wearing an elaborate suit of armour with a helmet at his feet.

Sir John Weller-Poley mystery at Boxted church
The alabaster monument of John Weller-Poley from a distance has nothing unusual or remarkable about it. But a closer look at his left ear will reveal a golden frog. It has never been fully explained as to why it is there. Numerous stories surround the ear-ring. Some say it is the source of the nursery rhyme 'A frog he would a wooing go'. Another suggests it is an emblem of honour bestowed upon him from France.
In Boxted Hall a 1567 portrait of Sir John aged 20 also shows him wearing the golden frog ear-ring. On the back of the painting it states that he was knighted for services against the Spaniards when the Duke of Parma besieged Bergem-op-Zoom, but does not explain the wearing of the golden frog ear-ring.
A close-up of the ear-ring can be seen here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5230507
