Monuments and Memorials of Old St Mary's
 | Memorial and inscription to John Skenington (Cansick, p.15)
Many memorials from the old nave of St. Mary's, and tombstones from the churchyard, are now lost. Some were recorded by F.T.Cansick, in "A Collection of Curious and Interesting Epitaphs" (London, 1875), from which the details and illustrations on this page are taken. |
