north aisle, being an Ionic framework above a panelled table tomb, and 2 kneeling
figures (of Anne and John Norton). The middle of the south aisle has the
Commandments in gold Gothic letters. Small wall monuments are in the south aisle,
of 1766, 1797, 1809, 1816 and 1821. The tower contains a wall monument of 1731,
