Inscription
"upon the pavement before the high altar is an ancient gravestone, having thereon the figure of a knight in complete armour, resting his head upon his gauntlet, with this inscription according to Weever: 'Hic iacent tumulati, dominus Willelmus Tendring miles and Katherina Clapton vxor eiusdem qui obierunt anno domini 1408.'"
From Copinger’s _The Manors of Suffolk: The hundreds of Babergh and Blackbourn_, p. 213.
