A brass inscription to "John Clarke" is displayed in the church of St. Peter in Benington, Hertfordshire, England, and is described as follows in British History Online (http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/herts/vol3/pp73-77):
    "The parish church of St. Peter [in Benington, Hertfordshire, England], which stands to the west of the village, is built of flint with stone dressings. The nave, which is covered with ivy, is plastered externally.  The chancel and south porch are roofed with tiles and the nave with lead. The tower, which is of two stages, has an embattled parapet and a pyramidal roof.  The present church, which dates from the end of the 13th or the beginning of the 14th century, originally consisted of a chancel and nave only, built, it would appear from the shields of arms that decorate them, by Sir John de Benstede (ob. 1323). The north chapel and the south porch were added about 1330, apparently by his widow, Parnel Moyne, and early in the 15th century the west tower was built by Edward Benstede (ob. 1432), and an additional arch was inserted with his monument below it between the chancel and the north chapel. The raising of the clearstory dates from somewhat later in the 15th century. The modern work upon the fabric consists of the rebuilding in 1889 of the south and east walls of the chancel and the recent restoration of the tower. ...In the nave on the east wall, to the north of the chancel arch, are two brasses, with inscriptions to William Clarke, 1591, and John Clarke, 1604."
