About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

St. Mary's Church was built on the foundations of St. Bertelin's Chapel of the ninth century. The present church dates from the early 13th century, with 14th century transepts and 15th century clerestories and crossing tower. It was heavily restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott between 1841 and 1844.

The church was collegiate when recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086. The church survived as a collegiate institution until the dissolution of colleges and chantries in 1548.

For several generations the Aston family acted as patrons, despite the fact that the entire family converted to Catholicism in the 1620s. When the 2nd Lord Aston, who was very popular locally, died in 1678, hundreds of Protestants attended the burial at St Mary's of a man they all knew well to be Catholic.
