St Mary's Church, Aldworth, Chiltern Hills AONB, Berkshire, England, UK, GB.
The Church of England parish church of Saint Mary the Virgin contains numerous effigial monuments to the De La Beche family.[4] The collection is the largest number of medieval memorials to a single family in a parish church.[2] The figures are supposed to be life size representations but they recreate some of the knights as over seven feet tall, which has led to their being called the 'Aldworth Giants'. Originally thought to have been erected by the most influential member of the family, Sir Nicholas De La Beche (sometimes erroneously called 'Lord De La Beche'[5]) in the 1340s, historians suggest they date from various medieval dates.
