Old Church

Monuments and Memorials

The number and positioning of monuments in the church are uncertain. A number of items from the Old Church have been moved into the New Church and are described in that section. These include the following:

Effigy of a knight

The Achievement

Leonia de Raines

The Annesley Brass

According to Phillimore (1910), there were also two mural monuments to members of the Chaworth-Musters family. An old photograph shows that they were mounted on the south wall of the chancel and the inscriptions read:
