The Brocket Chapel in St Ethelreda's Church, Old Hatfield.
Contains the tomb of Elizabeth Moore (Lord Brocket's second wife) and her mum Agnes who are shown in the favoured "we be chillin'" pose.
It is a fine example of Elizabethan funerary art.

The church was restored by G.G.Scott in 1866. Memorial to Thomas Langton Freke in the chancel is truly extraordinary-gruesome realism !
