The newest northern section was previously termed as St. Nicholas Quire otherwise Bowden Quire and at the fresh new eastern was brand new chair and tomb of one’s ancient family of Bowden of Bowden Han. The new tomb was receive by the Bassano in the 1710 because the a good “lower increased alibaster stone to own Nicholas Bowden away from Bowden”. It absolutely was in existence when Reynolds went to this new church inside 1760 and is far becoming regretted that this, the only found ancient memorial from the chapel, try then swept out-probably inside the re-pewing when you look at the 1834.
