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.
William, Sheriff of Leicestershire in 1619, lies with his head on an embroidered tasseled cushion wearing armour.
Two inscriptions record:
"Here lyeth interred the body of Sir William Roberts knight. Who in his lifetime being devoted both to Hospitality and Charity, among other memoriable he left workes out of a pious mind an Hospitale for sixe poore men adjoyning this churchyard and endowed it with thirty pounds annually in land for their maintenance forever".

Sutton Hoo near Woodbridge, in Suffolk, England, is the site of two early medieval cemeteries that date from the 6th to 7th centuries. Archaeologists have been excavating the area since 1939. One cemetery had an undisturbed ship burial with a wealth of Anglo-Saxon artefacts; most of these objects are now held by the British Museum. Scholars believe Rædwald of East Anglia to be the most likely the person buried in the ship. The site is important in understanding the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of East Anglia and the early Anglo-Saxon period, as it illuminates a period that lacks historical documentation.
The site was at first excavated under the auspices of the landowner, but when its significance became apparent, national experts took over. During in the 1960s and 1980s the wider area was explored by archaeologists and many other individual burials were revealed. The spectacular artefacts that emerged from the ship burial are unique in England for their magnificence, comprised what is considered the greatest treasure ever discovered in the UK.[1] Those found in the burial chamber include a suite of metalwork dress fittings in gold and gems, a ceremonial helmet, a shield and sword, a lyre, and silver plate from the Byzantine Empire.
The ship burial has prompted comparisons with the world of the Old English poem Beowulf. The poem is set in Götaland in southern Sweden, which has archaeological parallels to some of the finds from Sutton Hoo.
The cemeteries are located close to the River Deben estuary and other archaeological sites. They appear as a group of approximately 20 earthen mounds that rise slightly above the horizon of the hill-spur when viewed from the opposite bank. The newer burial ground, is situated on a second hill-spur about 500 metres (1,600 ft) upstream of the first. It was discovered and partially explored in 2000 during preliminary work for the construction of an Exhibition Hall for tourists. This site also has burials, but the tops of their mounds had been obliterated by later agricultural activity.
The nearby visitor centre contains original artefacts, replicas of finds and a reconstruction of the ship burial chamber. The site is in the care of the National Trust.
