In the north-eastern corner there are several chest tombs > 1402310 to Shelton family members, the south-eastern corner is occupied by a tomb to Sir Robert Houghton > 1029370. The probably most noteworthy feature of the church are its stained glass windows, the east window > 1402317 and several of the aisle windows > 1402314 containing medieval glass. |
