In the north east corner of the nave is a late C13 recumbent effigy of a knight, feet resting on a lion, head resting on a cushion supported by angels. The figure wears chain mail, helmet and surcoat with rowell spurs and the figure rests on a tomb chest with a frieze of quatrefoils containing shields. On a ledge at the top of the chest is an inscription. Set in the west wall of the nave is a tapering limestone tombstone with Lombardic inscription round the edge. It retains a brass depicting a demi-figure of a knight in chain mail and surcoat, head resting on a pillow with ogee corners and mailed hands holding a heart. Beneath is the matrix for a second now vanished shield shaped panel. This early C14 brass to Richard de Boselyngthorpe is one of the earliest military brasses in England.
