LEONARD WHEATCROFT, OF ASHOVER. 47 



have formed the sarcophagus of one of the Reresby family, who 

 were patrons of the church. It is now placed at the west side 

 of the tower (without). The original lid has been secured to the 

 wall above it, and is adorned with two crosses down the sloping 

 sides of the cover, characteristic of the commencement of the 

 thirteenth century. 



By the courtesy of J. P. Jackson, Esq., we have been supplied 

 with an excellent photograph of this coffin, which we reproduce 

 below.
