Village Church
|
The Church of All Saints stands
on raised ground just beyond the Hall.
|
It dates from the fourteenth century
but the front is from an earlier church.
|
Sir Richard Chomely,
the Black Knight of the North, was buried in the chancel in 1583.
|
The wall tomb surmounted by a
figure of a lady is thought to be the tomb of
|
Lady Beatrice Hastings.
She lived in the reign of Edward II.
|
In the churchyard is the gravestone
of Matthew Grimes.
|
It tells its own story. Matthew
Grimes was guard over Napolean on St. Helena.
