On a monument bearing the arms of Hayley and Yates: "Juxta hoc marmor requiescit cum filio infante Thomas Hayley, armiger, vii liberalis admodum et benevolus his, quos in vita ficiissime colebat. In sepulchre iterum adjuncta est Maria Hayley, uxor inculpabilis, parens atnantissima. Hoc qualicunque momimentum patri, quern parvulus amurit, et matri, quae vidua infantibus solicit semper invigilans, utriusque parentis officio fungebatur, filius consecravit, filius, quern solum ilia superstilem vucentral totis animoque amplexa fovebat, 1775." 2. On a gravestone in the churchyard: "To William Bryant, clerk of this parish, aged 91, and Anne, his wife, aged 92, this stone was raised by the contribution of their children and grandchildren, 1779." Verses omitted.] 3. On a gravestone: "In memory of Mary, late wife of John Bayley, who died July 24, 1772, aged 39 years." Verses omitted.] 4. On a gravestone: "Frances Kent, died October 28, 1777, aged 19." Verses omitted.] The church consists of a small nave and north aisles unceiled, and a chancel very neatly fitted up and ceiled by Mr. Hayley, whose gardens join the churchyard. The entrance is by a Saxon arch supported on each side by a pillar of ancient masonry. In a small wooden turret are three bells. M. Green. 1824, Part I....
