The tomb of Sir George Wynter and his wife at St. Peter's church, Dyrham, Gloucestershire, England. George Wynter was a C16 pirate/adventurer who profited from piracy in the West Indies where foreign ships were plundered. The proceeds of such activities , along with inherited family wealth, funded the purchase of Dyrham Park. His wife gave birth to eleven children shown in relief on the walls of this tomb.
