A heavy flagon and jjaten of massive silver, both dated 1742. 



The only object remaining to be remarked is the altar tomb of 

 the Lisles exterior to the south side of the nave. On it is 

 engraved the date of Alice Lisle's death and that of one of her 

 daughters. 



It has been at various times repaired at the expense of Mr. 

 Aimbrose Lisle Philips, a descendant of Alice Lisle. 



Near the gate is a tombstone, wliicli has attracted some attention, 

 having been brought here by gipsies a hundred years ago. The 

 inscription is not decypherable, but upon it is a symbol of death, 

 common in the Catacoml)S of Eome. It is the Greek <' d " for 

 "edparos " (within a circle).
