| The inscription (in Anglo-Norman) on the brass plate states: Icy gist Mons. Thomas D’ Audeley Chivaler fra Mons. James D’ Audeley, Seign’r de Heleigh de Rouge Chastell qui moruit Le xxiv die Januari L’ An. de gra’ Mo ccclxxxv -qui vit: de qi alme Dieu p’ sa pite eit merci -AMENTranslated this reads: Here lies Sir Thomas Audley, brother (sic) of Sir James Audley, lord of Heleigh and Redcastle, who died on the 24th January in the year of grace 1385 on whose soul God have mercy and pity” The Sir James Audley is {ZA13} in our research. There is no documentary evidence that Sir James Audley had a brother and it seems that it is generally accepted that the Sir Thomas Audley, whom the brass commerates is infact his son {ZA19} Thomas Audley |

| Hulton Abbey | |
| Hulton Abbey was a former monastery located in what is now Abbey Hulton, a suburb of Stoke-on-Trent. A daughter house of the Cistercian Combermere Abbey, the abbey was founded by Henry de Audley in the early 13th century. The abbey was relatively small and poor, with one of the lowest incomes of all Staffordshire religious houses, ahead of only Brewood Priory. The abbey was dissolved in 1538. (source Wikipedia) | |
