| On the left of the north aisle is the Selwyn Brass. Dated 1587, it commemorates John Selwyn, gamekeeper at Oatlands Palace for Queen Elizabeth I. The five-part brass shows his family in everyday 16th century clothes. The eleven children all survived childhood, which was rare at that time. The centre brass depicts John Selwyn mounted on a stag, plunging a dagger into the beast's neck in front of the Queen. | ||||||
