Tomb of Sir John Mayney

This 1566 altar tomb in the north chapel of All Saints’ Biddenden is that of Sir John Mayney and his wife Margaret Johnson of Biddenden Place. Sir John was Sheriff of Kent in 1566 and died during his term of office. The tomb has on it a fine brass depicting husband and wife and their fourteen children, the boys standing beside their father and the girls by their mother. Most of the inscription in raised lettering on stone cannot be read as it was chipped away by Roundhead desecraters during the Civil War. 

It was Sir John’s father, another John, who in 1522 founded and endowed a school in Biddenden which still exists today as the “John Mayne (C of E) Primary School” with the Mayney crest and foundation date on its uniform. Sir John’s younger brother, Walter Mayney of Spilsill Manor House (now 'Spilsill Court')  is buried at Staplehurst.
