In the churchyard, near the south door of the chancel, is an 

 erection of stone which looks at first sight like an altar-tomb, its 

 sides being ornamented with panels, some trefoil-headed, others 

 containing a quatrefoil which encloses a shield charged with a cross. 

 This has been hitherto described as a tomb, but from being close to 

 a door, and from its resemblance to many others of the same kind, 

 as in the churchyards of Potterne, Bishops Cannings, Poulshot, 

 Edyngton, &c, it is suggested that it may have been used for some 

 purpose in connection with the church itself, perhaps for the dis- 

 tribution of alms, or doles. 



Among the more ancient memorials in the churchyard are the 

 names of 



Burgess, Eden, Ferris, Gamble, Halcomb, Harman, Hill, Holloway, Hull, Lewis, 

 Loekey, Mills, Newton, Norris, Noyes, Oak, Paradice, Phillips, Rutt, Seager, 

 Street. 



On the north side of the chancel is a flat stone to the Rev. Henry 

 Jaques, Rector of Leigh-Delamere, who died in 1786.
