 Towards the west end is a mural tablet to a family of Taylor, where 

 the sculptor has introduced the novelty of a group of children, 

 kneeling, in modern yeoman dress. On the floor also, John Gardiner 

 1720. The glass in one or two of the clerestory windows has a 

 bordure of lions passant. This bordure of lions, enclosing a cross 

 flory forms the arms on the borough seal of Westbury, and is a 

 token of connexion with the Pavely family. (See Sir R. C. Hoard's 

 Westbury, p. 3.) 



South Aisle. 



On the floor near the entrance is an old stone with the " Cross 

 Keys 33 upon it. Also a very large Purbeck slab with sockets for 

 two brasses of man and wife, with shields at the corners, but all the

 co-heiresses of Sir John Pavely, of Brook House : but the following 

 arms, carved on the frieze of the canopy and panels of the tomb, if 

 intended to apply to such a match, are rather perplexing : —

1 The cross moline may possibly be for Pavely, to whom more than one variety 

 of cross is given in the armouries. But there is some difficulty in adapting the 

 heraldry on the stone-work to the match between Sir Ralph Cheney and Joan, 

 heiress of Pavely. In another shield, on the opposite side of the monument,
