"William Darwin - Lord of the Manor"
"William succeeded his uncle, Robert Waring Darwin, and inherited the Elston Estate and lived at Elston Hall. He was married to Elizabeth de St Croix and had 7 children, 4 of whom died young. There are sad memorials to three of them inside the Church in the north aisle - William who died aged 13, Jane aged 14 and Elizabeth aged 15. William’s wife Elizabeth was said to be a “bit of a tartar” and had the appalling habit of giving enormous doses of camomile to her unfortunate children. Mrs Dorothea Darwin was told by her father in law that “she not only dosed his family but the whole village”. William commissioned the renovation and alteration of the Church in 1841 to its present form. His tomb, a low monument with gabled top, comprises an eye-catching and elaborately carved stone cross encrusted with clumps of ivy - no doubt inspired by the Gothic Revival."
