File:Lady Elizabeth Kitson And Sir Thomas Kytson Monument In Hengrave Church.jpg
This monument c.1608 houses Sir Thomas Kytson and his two wives. His first wife died and he re-married but he lies between effigies of them both!
He was son of the Sir Thomas who built Hengrave Hall, and he was powerful enough to have entertained Queen Elizabeth I in 1578, despite his Catholic faith. It is said that she tried to argue him into Protestantism; in return, he presented her with a beautiful jewel!
He has certainly left to posterity the beautiful jewel of Hengrave Hall and this church which he endowed.
