This splendid mural monument, made of marble and alabaster, is dedicated to Edward Holte and his wife Dorothy (nee Ferrers) and shows them kneeling in front of each other. Edward was the son of Thomas (of the tower brass) and father of Thomas who built Aston Hall.

The inscription below the mural was hidden by furniture when I visited and so I quote from William Eliot:

Here lieth bured Edward Holte, Esquire, and Dorothye, his wife; which

Edwarde was Lorde of this Towne and Patron of this Church or

Vicarage. He was also Lorde of Duddeston and Nechels, and of divers

other landes within this Parishe, who died

about Candellmas, beinge

about the age of one and fiftie years in the

XXXV. year of the raigne

of Queen Elisabethe, and in the year of our

Saviour Christ 1592.
