In my plan of the Chantry, the figure 4 shows the segment of alabaster still to be seen, which formed the bottom right hand corner of the slab surmounting the large altar tomb placed to his memory. The beginning and end of the Latin inscription — Hie jacet — ens Amen, may still be traced; and the fore-paws of the animal on which the feet of the figure rested are faintly visible. A sketch of the whole figure and inscription will also be found in the Appendix, by which we learn that "Here lies Richard Turvile, Armiger, son of William Turvile, who died the first day - in the year of our Lord, 1414," concluding with the usual prayer for the soul of the deceased.
