The Sheldon family were Lords of Beoley from the late 15th to late 18th centuries. William Sheldon (died 1570) started the first English tapestry workshops, in Barcheston and Bordesley. The tomb of William and his wife Mary features two recumbent stone effigies upon a sarcophagus bearing a number of coats of arms, beneath an arch, framed by columns.
