DescriptionHerstmonceux, All Saints' church, Dacre memorial (30230037008).jpg
Erected 1534 in memory of Thomas 8th Lord Dacre (1470-1533) and his son Sir Thomas Fiennes, who died 1528. The tomb uses three types of stone, Caen, Bonchurch and Purbeck. The two men lie in Milanese armour of about 1480, beautifully carved in Caen stone. It is thought that the figures were bought from nearby Battle Abbey, when suppressed by Henry VIII, and were of the brothers Hooe. The figures were altered to represent Dacre and Fiennes.
The tomb also contains many other coats of arms.
