MADDOX in Chepstow church (General)

My grandmother-in-law was a Brooks born in Clearwell. My husband was always told that she was descended from the Maddox family. When he was young, he was shown a stone effigy in Chepstow church. It's of a woman with the surname Maddox, lying on, as he puts it, a big stone chest. He was told that she was one of his ancestors. The problem is that he can't remember her first name, or when she lived. He thinks it was the 1600s, but he's not sure. We now live in north east England, so it's a bit difficult to do any on the spot research.

Does anyone know of this effigy in the church, and have more details about it please?
