Inscription

Thomas Andrewes and his wife Margaret. He was a merchant and the figures both wear ermine trimmed gowns with Margaret adorned with an elaborate head-dress. Above them is a decorated canopy and below their eight children and an angel holding a shield. Text from 'Charwelton through the ages' compiled by Graham White.

The brass shows Thomas in civil dress with his wife, both standing under an elaborate canopy. There is an inscription plate underneath them, under which is a row of four small canopies over four boys on the left side and a fifth boy and three girls on the right. There were some nice details including a dog eating out of a pot. The heads of two daughters, small fragments of canopy pinnacles, and the lower sinister corner quatrefoil were restored blank in 1904.

The border inscription reads:
Hie iacent Thomas Andrewe Mercator Generosus et Margeria uxor eius qui quidem Thomas obiit anno domini Millesimo CCCC quorum animabus deus cui proprium est semper miserere et parcere propicietur amend. (Here lie Thomas Andrewe, merchant and gentleman, and his wife Margery, the which Thomas died on 14.. on whose souls may God, whose property is ever to be merciful and to spare, have mercy, Amen).
