Paul Bush was named as the first Bishop of Bristol in 1542. In 1554 a royal commission determined that Bush was ineligible to hold his office due to the fact that he was married. Bush retired to a rectory at Winterbourne, where he lived until his death in 1558. The effigy is much worn, but traces of paint still cling to the carved figure.
