The large coffin rested on beams fixed across the vault from wall to wall, one beam being rotten. The coffins were of leather covered oak with a lead lining and iron fittings too corroded to see any inscriptions, but in style almost identical to the coffin seen at Gedney in 1966 that dated to 1844. {3}{4} The church is dated to about 1300, with further work of the early 14th century, late 14th century and 15th century.
