We arrived at the church just as a service was ending. We were pleased to see that the churchyard had been well maintained.
 
 
The elaborate aedicular monument to Henry Spoure who died in 1688. Edmund Spoure and his wife are kneeling in prayer and in mourning for their only son. Above them is Henry looking down at them and his sister Mary looking heavenwards. Henry is holding a closed book while that of Mary is open.
