Parish cemetery at St Peter & St Paul's church, Preston, Rutland.

Findagrave website listing - (visit link)

"The church of St Peter and St Paul at Preston sits at the end of a quiet lane, backing onto arable land. It consists of a nave, chancel, north & south aisles, vestry, and a west tower with recessed spire. The north aisle bay dates from around 1150 with the southern one added a little later (circa 1200). The chancel arch was rebuilt later and at a higher level. The tower, with lofty spire, was added in the 13th century and some major re-modelling took place in the 14th century. The font is a 13th century plain bowl standing on four cylindrical legs.

The chancel dates from the 13th century; there are remains of other arches in the east wall. The whole south wall of the chancel (windows, single sedile and the priest's doorway) is a rich mixture of carvings and styles. The hanging lamps are reported to have come from a street called Straight in Damascus."
