detail
1 Stone floor slab, now forming base for the high altar. Only one long side and short lengths of each end are now visible. A few words of the marginal inscription, including ‘Marie . .’ are legible, incised in gothic style using the ‘long s’, and also an incised kneeling male figure in doublet and knee breeches at the right hand end.

7 Nichols describes the whole slab with its inscription, giving the name of Marie’s husband as John Sharpe. There was, it seems, then visible, ‘a large figure of a woman (probably the Blessed Virgin) and underneath the figures of a woman, and at her feet one son and three daughters, all kneeling and praying to it’. According to Nichols, this inscription originally read ‘Here lieth the bodie of / Marie wife of John Sharpe; who / deceased the —– day / of Marche (sic) in the yeare of our Lord / God 1566; on whose soul Jhesus have mercy, amen’. He also asserts that the actual day was never filled in. (ref a)

011 FLOOR SLAB/BRASS Ph ? Villiers c 1480 S AISLE, E
011
1 Large stone slab with minimal brass remains. Matrix indicates there was a brass border, probably inscribed. Of the two figures the only remaining brass shows a man in plate armour, his hands joined in prayer. A sword depends from a hangar, hilt projecting at his left side. Head and left foot are missing but the matrix suggests the feet rested on an animal.
The female figure must have been wearing a long robe and curves back elegantly. The matrix shows the shape of an elaborate butterfly headdress which suggests a date towards the end of the 15th century.
Heraldic shields were placed above and below each figure but nothing remains of the brass.
See Paintings etc 504 for a somewhat inaccurate diagrammatical framed drawing of the placement of the two Villiers figures.

1 Wooden Roll of Honour consisting of a painted panel in a brown wooden frame with scroll across the top in white with black lettering: Roll of Honour of the / Parish of All Saints. Hoby. 1914-
Panel has moulded sides forming a cinquefoil-headed gothic arch with trefoil spandrels originally with coloured flower design. Within the head of the arch is a cross patonce, originally gold, outlined in black on a blue ground. To the left of the cross is a small scroll with the words FOR KING; to the right a scroll with words AND COUNTRY. Beneath the cross the names follow, in black, roman caps, on a long white scroll.
The Roll appears to have been hastily made with names originally in alphabetical order but not consistently so. Some of the names appear also on the War Memorial (025). The panel is in poor condition, paint peeling and wood splitting. There are indications that an attempt has been made to delete some of the names.

027 FLOOR SLAB Anthonye ? Margery ? 1588 N AISLE, E end
1 Long alabaster stone, now forming the plinth for the altar. It is inscribed, in gothic lettering round the edge, where faint indications show there was an incised border. The text is, however, not legible. The centre panel shows a half-size figure, probably kneeling, at left lower corner. The figure, probably female, wears a high collar, has puffed sleeves and hands closed in prayer.
There are slight vestiges of an inscription in the centre panel, to the right of the kneeling figure. Only the words ‘which Anthonye..died..’ and the beginning of a date ’15..’ can be made out.
