In this aisle we find Mrs Creed, daughter of Sir Gilbert Pickering, lamenting the death of her husband, a boon companion of Samuel Pepys, that of their son Richard, killed at Blenheim in 1704, their daughter Jemima, and a sad list of lost infants. Nearby in the south wall is a C14th recessed tomb, where possibly lies buried a Lord Lovel.
The east window of this aisle contains two charming panels of stained glass depicting the Annunciation and the Nativity. These are the work of C. E. Kempe, and were given by Canon Luckock in memory of his mother.
In the west wall of the south aisle is a touching and interesting memorial which records the death by drowning of a certain Hugh Richard who had previously saved his master, Gilbert Pickering, from a deadly attack. Unfortunately the monument is undated, and no more is known of the circumstances referred to.
