On the top of the tomb, which still exists in excellent condition, are the full length recombant figures of the old knight in full armour, and his lady dressed in the costume of the day, while figures of children surround the tomb. Over the monument is a beautiful gothic arch and the family crest.
"Here lyeth the body of Sir Robert Townshend, Knight, Chief Justice of the Council in the Marches of Wales and Chester, and Dame Alice his wife, daughter and one of the heirs of Robert Poppy, Esquire, who had between them twelve children, six sons and six daughters lawfully begotten."
On the panelling of the monument are the names of the children, the names of Thomas, Robert, Isaac and Henry being still visible.
