English: Monumental brass to Alice Fry (1533-1605), a daughter of William Fry, lord of the manor of Yarty in Devon and wife of Phillip Steyning (1509-1589) of Holnicote, Somerset. It was erected by her son-in-law Bishop George Montgomery (1562–1621), whose first wife was Susan Steyning (d.1614). It displays two heraldic escutcheons. On the dexter side the arms of Steyning, a bat with wings elevated sable (of four quarters) impaling Fry Gules, three horses courant argent. On the sinister side are shown a version of the arms of Montgomery impaling Steyning.
The arms of Montgomery as shown are: A lance and a sword saltire-wise between in chief three fleurs-de-lys and in base three annulets stoned. This is an un-heraldic mixture of the heraldic device of the lance and a sword saltire-wise adopted by the soldier Sir James Montgomerie (b.1600) (2nd son of Hugh Montgomerie, 1st Viscount Montgomerie of the Great Ards) "to denote his roles as a justice in peace and a commander in war", and placed over the entrance door of his Irish seat of Rosemount, County Down, (The Montgomery Manuscripts, Belfast, 1830, p.159) together with above: the arms of Montgomerie: Azure, three fleurs-de-lys or and below the arms of Eglinton (often quartered by Montgomerie): Gules, three annulets or stoned azure Alice Fry's niece was Bridget Fry, wife of Henry Worth (1537-1606), lord of the manor of Worth, in the parish of Washfield, Devon. Alice Fry survived her husband by 16 years and died at Worth, hence the location of the brass. See Hancock, Frederick, The Parish of Selworthy in the County of Somerset, Taunton, 1897, pp.128-132, concerning the history of Holnicote and the Steyning family. The verse, composed by Bishop Montgomery himself (Hancock, pp.129-30), is as follows:
