And finally: grateful thanks to Philip Lankester for putting me right on the civilian figures on the second Berkerolles tomb. Rhianydd Biebrach has identified the stone of both the Berkerolles effigies as Sutton, a fine-grained limestone quarried near the coast south of Bridgend (see her Ph D thesis, ‘Monuments and commemoration in the Diocese of Llandaff, c.1200 c.1540’, downloadable from
cronfa.swan.ac.uk/Record/cronfa42675/Download/0042675-02082018162513.pdf: the specific Berkerolles reference is on p 115.)
