His wife, Isabel founded the chantry and college at Tong for her own and her husbands souls
Fulke's tomb is the oldest in the church. He was Lord of Tong from 1371 to 1409, he is clad in armour of the camail period (the camail is a flexible curtain of mail on a helmet extending to the neck and shoulders). His head rests upon a helmet carrying his crest which is the head of a Turkish woman with a wreath round her temples and plaited hair. His feet rest on a lion, a symbol of courage.
