The most important survival in the church is the series of monuments to the Cornwallis family of Brome Hall. They are Sir John Cornwallis (1544) and Sir Thomas Cornwallis (1604), both with recumbent effigies on very similar tomb chests, and Henry (1598) and Elizabeth, Lady Cornwallis (1680) as well as Frederick, Lord Cornwallis (1661).
