It has been moved several times around the church and on my visit it was in pieces being restored. This enabled me to see the side normally against the wall. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/3w165B
It shows the Roberts arms (Per pale argent and gules, a lion rampant sable) with mantling and a tiger's head crest, beneath which are double doors symbolising the entry from earth to heaven
