. The Victoria history of the county of Bedford. Natural history. ? »i square Flitton Church, from South-east In the chancel is the brass of Thomas Hill, ' re- ceiver-general to three worthy earls of Kent,' who died in 1628, aged loi, and in the nave are in- dents of two brasses, one showing a man and his wife with six sons and three daughters, and another with a single figure of a civilian. On the walls of the north aisle are three fragmentary brasses, the oldest being that of Eleanor Conquest, 1434 ; the second, dated 1544, having a female figure with a mutilated inscrip- tion (it is that of Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Waren), and the third is an inscription, dated 1594, in memory of Alice, wife of Reginald Hill, and her infant son William. At the north-west of the nave is another slab with indents of a figure between four shields, one of which, bearing a lion, is preserved in the vestry at the west end of the north aisle. A rubbing in the collection of the Society of Antiquaries shows the lion shield apparently in position on the slab of Eleanor Conquest. Part of the inscription of the Waren brass is a palimpsest, having part of a fifteenth-century inscrip- tion on the back. ^V Beds, i, 251. 118 Plac. de Quo War (Rec. Com.), 45. 331.
