The tomb of Sir Walter Hungerford, 'The Knight of Farley', and his son Edward who predeceased him in 1583. The tomb is richly coloured and has a flat top round three sides of which runs the epitaph. The line against the wall is written from right to left apparently with the idea it would be easier to read backward than upside down.
