Memorial secrets in a secluded chapel

Striking memorials grace this fascinating rural chapel – which is all that remains of a 14th-century church.

The earliest, a wall memorial from the 1620s, shows a kneeling John Evelyn I and his wife wearing grand Stuart fashions, with their 11 children in a line below.

Perhaps the most imposing memorial is Robert Pierrepoint’s – an angel supports his life-sized marble figure.

The chapel stands alone in excellent walking country – a great place to take a break.
