The figure of their eldest son Nicholas (1578-1631) kneels at their head. The other children surround the base of the chest as weepers. At the feet of Sir John is a sea lion which is the crest of the Tufton family, and at the feet of his wife is a Lion's paw, the crest of the Brown family.It is thought that the Tuftons originated from Dorset and settled at Northiam in East Sussex in the 14th century.
