in 1877 the chancel was opened up to the c18 halsey mortuary chapel with these two arches. the chapel is full of the family's memorials, the english aristocracy preferring to be buried near their country estates, making many a small parish church a storehouse of statuary.

a really unusual memorial is that to john halsey, +1670, in the chancel. difficult to photo in daylight, this monument has been designed and carved with gusto, and I can well believe it to be by bushnell, an erratic genius who trained in venice - as he never stopped reminding people. it is almost the same design as his memorial to mrs. pepys at st.olave hart st. in london.
