Monuments in chancel
Two ledgers to Charles Dowdeswell of Forthampton Court, died 1647, right and left of mensa.
The High Altar, with a reredos by William Burges, no less, of 1864-6. The stone altar itself is an extreme rarity, a mensa of around 1300, still in position. Almost all others fell victim to iconoclasts, either at the Reformation or in the 17th century.
Five marble monuments to members of the Yorke family, died 1791-1830 on south wall.
C18 monument with eroded inscription and barley twist columns with Corinthian capitals, broken segmental pediment with heraldic shield at centre, above.
