The effigies of Hugh Turvile, who died
on the feast of St Denis 1340, and his wife (with the coat of
arms of the Turviles) are found on a low alter-tomb. The figure
is bare-headed, with a hood folded over the shoulder. The body
clothing consists of a long belted over-tunic and an inner tunic.
The hands hold a heart. At the feet is a mutilated animal, perhaps
a dog.
Hugh Turville was a Member of Parliament which was held in Salisbury
in 1347.
An inscription in Norman French next to his wife reads: "Here lies Agnes Turvylle, who died on the seventh day of July in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ one thousand three hundred and forty nine (1349) on whose soul may God have mercy".
The coats of arms of the Turviles are cut into the 'body' of this lady.
