On the north wall of the chancel is an effigy 19in. high of 
a lady in a large calash or hood, ruff, and dress with tight 
sleeves, plain cuffs, stomacher composed of overlapping scales, 
and plain skirt projecting at the hips, where it is probably 
extended by a farthingale of whalebone. The lady also wears 
low-lieeled shoes tied with a ribbon. Standing upon a tiled 
floor alongside their mother are a boy, dressed in a gown 
partially open down the front, like that worn by the boys of 
Christ’s Hospital, and a girl dressed like her mother, but with 
a Paris hood instead of the immense calash.
