This black marble grave monument was originally place in the medieval north aisle of St Agatha's Church and has been reset upright in the west wall of the nave. It shows the knight in full plate armour and his lady in long gown and headdress, with a buck and a dog at their respective feet. The marginal Latin inscription, in Old English characters, runs round all four sides and reads as follows:
Hic jacet d[omi]ñ[u]s He[n]ricus Boyntõn myles ultim[us] heres de Sydbery isti[us] nõ[min]is et Essabella uxor ejus qui VII [die] Januarii obiit añ[n]o D[omi]ñi mocccccoxxxio quo[rum] añi[ma]b[us] p[ro]picietur Deus Ame[n].
"Here lies Lord Henry Boynton, a soldier, the last heir of Sedbury of that name, and Isabella his wife, who died the 7th day of January in the 1531st year of our Lord, to whose souls may the Lord be gracious, Amen."
