A monument dedicated to the memory of John Fitz and his wife, with their recumbent effigies, and a smaller kneeling figure of their son. The monument is made of stone, inferior in workmanship to the monument of Judge Glanville on the other side of the chancel. There is no inscription though the arms, the cross engrailed amidst gouttes de sang for Fitz, and the three rams passant for Sydenham are sculptured with great care. John Fitz died January 1589-90.
