Erected in 1634 by his wife Lady Lucy Reynell (nee Brandon) in memory of her husband, their daughter Jane & her infant son.

The inscription translated from Latin reads 'In memory of Sir Richard Reynell of Forde, Knight, died January 24th in the year of Christ 1633 aged 77 years, and Lady Lucie his beloved wife, and also of Lady Jane their daughter, married to Sir William Waller, Knight, who dying in Bath May 18th in the year of Christ 1633 now lies there under a magnificent tomb; and of John Reynell their son who dying in infancy, in London was buried in the church of St Bride's. This monument was erected in the Year of Our Lord 1634'
