Rebuilt into the north aisle wall in 1874. It is composed of alabaster, with panels of black marble, and is about 12 feet high and 6 feet wide. In the centre are demi-figures, coloured and gilt, of William and Jane Ferrers, with one hand each clasping a skull, and the other holding books. Above the figures are two arches supported by corbels ornamented with cherubs' heads, carved and gilt. Under the figures is a niche in which is placed the figure of a sleeping child, his head resting on a pillow, and a rose in his hand.
