Sir Nicholas Strelley, son of Sir Sampson, married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir E. Pierpont, lint. He died in 1430, and his will is preserved at York. His tomb cannot be identified. During alterations to the floor inside the sanctuary two graves were found, one on each side of the altar; it is possible that these are those of this Sir Nicholas and his wife. In his will he directed his body to be buried in the church at Strelley, and left money for various offices for the repose of his soul, with very minute directions. He was succeeded by his son Robert: his tomb is probably the incised alabaster slab at the north-west corner of the altar tomb; he died 1438. The slab has had the figures of a knight in armour and a lady with long flowing robe, with children kneeling at her feet. The inscription is now illegible; some years ago could be read:

“MCCCCXXXVIII. quor aibu p’piciet’ deus Amen.”
