The brass memorial to Sir Hugh Hastings (died 1347), the largest of all English church brasses, has been described by Nikolaus Pevsner as “the most sumptuous of all English church brasses”.
With some parts missing it shows a 5 feet 6 inches (1.68 m) long figure in armour with hands together in prayer while two angels hold his pillows.
In the cusped arch above tiny angels receive his soul.
In a gable above this is a mounted St George spearing a devil in an octofoiled circle.
Above this are two plaques with the Coronation of the Virgin between two angels in the corners.
To the left and right four tiers of mourning figures represent Edward III, Thomas Beauchamp Earl of Warwick, Lord Grey of Ruthyn, Henry Plantagenet Earl of Lancaster, the Earl of Pembroke, Edward Despenser, Ralph de Stafford, and Almeric, Lord St Amand.
Pembroke and Despenser are now missing.

Originally decorated with coloured glass and coloured pastes the brass is now mounted on a low plinth at the centre of the chancel and kept covered for protection.
A replica which can be used for brass rubbings is displayed in the north-west corner of the nave.
