goldhanger church, essex

the somewhat battered and reassembled purbeck marble tomb chest of thomas heigham +1531 carries three remaining brasses , one added later naming anthony heyham +1540 and wife. the original achievements have been cut back, and one seems to have borne the pallium, there are also bases for figures that don't line up with the panels, so this may be a reused c15 chest tomb from a monastery nearby.
