ment, in memory of Mr. Toilet against the north wall. Arms: 

 cheeky, argent and azure, on a chevron engrailed Or, thrde anchors 

 azure; on a chief gules, a lion passant argent (Toilet). It has an 

 escutcheon of pretence argent, bearing on a chevron azure, three 

 garbs Or (Cradocke). Crest : a tower surmounted by a pyramid 

 azure, round which appears, coiled and descending, a serpent pro-

At the east end of the chancel are mural monuments. That on 

 the north wall is the most ancient : it contains two small Ionian 

 columns, the bases and capitals of which have been gilt. These 

 columns support an entablature, the middle part of which is height- 

 ened by a circular arch or round pediment. At the top, above 

 each column, is a shield, each bearing the same arms, viz. Gules, 

 a fess ermine between three arrow heads argent, and between the 

 two in chief is a crescent of the same for difference. The entabla- 

 ture, small columns, and the member or part upon which the co- 

 lumns are supported, form a kind of niche, by projecting about 

 nine inches from the wall, within which are a small male and fe- 

 male image in a devotional attitude, with a desk between them, on 

 each side of which is a book open. Behind the female is a third 

 figure, a female, and smaller than the other two. Above these 

 figures, on the back ground, are three coats of arms. 



On the south wall, is a modern marble monument, having the 

 arms of Toilet on a shield at the top; below which, on a white tab- 

 let, is inscribed ;
