Among the several monuments in this church, is that of Sir William Walworth who slew Wat Tyler. See the article London. The inscription, as given by Mr. Weaver, in his Funeral Monuments, is as follows:
Here under lyth a man of fame,
William Walworth callyd by name;
Fishmonger he was in life time here,
And twise Lord Mayor, as in bookes appere;
Who with courage stout and manly might,
Slew Wat Tyler in King Richard’s sight;
For which act done, and trew intent,
The King made him Knight incontinent:
And gave him armes, as here may see,
