To the right of the horse is a kneeling figure, without a head through damage, presumably a squire. The sculpture dates to about 1320 to 1325. There is no heraldry currently present but Gervase Holles (1607-75) describes a chevron between a ten cross sable, which makes the effigy that of Henry Sleyt. {7}
