Entry is through the late medieval porch which is unusually inscribed with the date of its construction, 1456.
Internally the church was spared 19th century intervention, instead it has a rather pleasant 18th century quality. This must have something to do with the local families; the Sothebys at the Hall, the Palmers at Ecton House and the Walleys. The latter two are fully recorded in rather unusual marble genealogical tablets to be found toward the rear of the church. The Palmers also make an appearance in two fine tombs by Rysbrack to be found in the chancel.
Here you will discover further monuments by Cheere and Rossi.
The church has an important American connection as, not only did Benjamin Franklin’s family come from here, but Franklin himself visited his ancestral village in 1758. The bronze plaque recording this connection was put in the church in 1910. It is by Fritz Roselieb.
