Description: Mural monument to Sir William Strode (died 1637) on the north wall of the Strode Chapel in the church of St Mary's Plympton. According to Stabb, J., Some Old Devon Churches, London, 1908-16, p. 184: "In the centre kneels his effigy in armour with hand on sword. On either side of him are female effigies kneeling each at a prie dieu, to the left his first wife Mary Southcott, who died in 1617, and to the right Dunes (Dewnes or Dyonisia) the second Lady Strode. On a panel beneath Mary Southcott are low-relief sculpted figures of her seven daughters and three sons. Underneath the effigy of Dunes is a representation of Death cutting with his sickle a flower then grasped by the hand of God appearing out of a cloud above." For arms of top shield see
