| Place of origin |
This tomb chest comes from the ruined church of St Mary, Eastwell, Kent. Sir Thomas Moyle was the grandfather of Sir Moyle Finch, whose monument is also in the collection, A.186-1969 and the great-grandfather of Sir Heneage Finch, A.184-1969. The names and coats of arms on the tomb are those of Sir Thomas's father and mother, grandfather, grandmother, wife, daughters and daughter's husbands. The stone from which the monument is constructed must have been formerly used in a building, as inside the chest are some quatrefoil decoration, arch-mouldings and part of a window-transom.
