Church contains a fabulous collection of 79 bench ends from 1510-1530. This, the first to be seen when entering, says: 'Robert Daye maker of this worke & William Bokyngham Curate John Hodge Clerk'. People assume Robert Daye to be the carver but in class-ridden C16 a lowly carver would not be named above the Curate and Clerk. So Daye is the donor who 'caused to be made' this or all 79 bench ends, though the unnamed carver deserves much credit.
