In St Audeon's medieval parish church (DU018-02075-) there is a 17th century monument of plaster on a wooden frame commemorating Stephen and Joan Seagrave and their children (d. 1597). It consists of an apron with scrolled lower edge bearing a winged skull and cross-bones. The lower edge is further decorated with swags of drapery, leaves and globes. Above this is a sarcophagus with three consoles supporting five kneeling figures flanked by composite columns. The centre column carries a basket of fruits. Left, a man kneeling at a prie-dieu, with his son behind him. Right, a lady also kneeling, with two daughters behind. Above the figures is a frieze with two angel's heads and above this is a triangular pediment decorated with roses and a form of bead and reel scrollwork. Attached to the pediment are three shields (H3.75m, Wth 1.62m).
