North-East corner of church
On the floor, visible on the left, is the oldest monument in the church: It consists of small coffin-lid with the figure in low relief of a knight in armour of about 1160. The body is almost wholly covered by a large heater shield.
To its right is the large and elaborate marble altar tomb with the effigy of Robert first Earl of Salisbury, the founder of the Salisbury Chapel, who died in 1612. The altar slab, with the recumbent effigy of the earl wearing an armet with the visor open and the collar of the Order of the Garter, and holding a staff in his right hand, is supported by four finely-sculptured kneeling figures holding a sword, vases, broken columns and a skull. Beneath the slab, and between the four figures, is the representation of a skeleton.
