where his descendants lived, but in 1699 the heiress married a man named Breton. The Moyles and later the Bretons were the lay rectors and sometimes vicars of Boughton Aluph until the mid-nineteenth century. The earlier chancel in the north east of the church (now used as a vestry) is known as the Moyle Chapel and here many of the Moyles are buried. There are two interesting monuments with fascinating epitaphs; to Sir Robert Moyle, who died in 1661, and to his sister, Amye Clarke, née Moyle, who died in 1631. The carving of the shroud on the latter memorial is considered to be very fine and is believed to be the work of William Wright, who worked near Charing Cross. Some of the heraldry on the tomb is also found in the funeral hatchment on the wall of the Moyle Chapel.
