Church of St Simon and St Jude, Castlethorpe

"[3] The church is built on an eminence, a little eastward of the keep, as appears from the height of the bank or mount still remaining close to the church-yard.

It comprises a chancel, nave, north and south aisles, and a tower at the west end.

At the east end of the north aisle still remain the steps of the rood loft, in a good state of preservation.

The font is very large, and octagonal, having two sculptured human heads annexed to two of its western angles.

On a slab of jet covering the altar-tomb, between the pillars, are the effigies, in full size, of Sir Thomas, habited as a judge, reclining on a mat and cushions, his head resting on the lap of a female, sitting in a melancholy position.

This monument, which was erected by widow Dame Bridget Tyrrell, bears an inscription recording the gift to the poor of Castlethorpe of £10 per annum.
