Peter de Bermingham set up the first market here in the twelfth century. The alabaster monument dates to 1390 and is said to be of Sir John de Bermingham.The one in sandstone nearest the entrance of the chapel on the right is thought to represent Sir William de Bermingham this dates back to 1325 and as such is the oldest monument in Birmingham.
