Cut benchmark on NW corner, near entrance.

"St Michael & All Angels Church was built in the decorated Gothic style which prevailed in the first half of the 14th century. The de Appleby Chapel, in the north-east corner of the church, appears to have been constructed first, with the chancel, nave and side aisles added a little later. The chapel, now used for the vestries and the organ, contains the tombs and alabaster effigies of the supposed builder of the church, Sir Edmund de Appleby, and his wife Lady Joan"
