Funerary hatchment for Charlotte (Collins), 3rd Viscountess Bolingbroke, who died in 1803. The Latin inscription IN COELO QUIES translates as '...in the quiet heaven'

The hatchment hung on the East wall of the St.John Chapel but was removed in 2019 to allow for conservation works to the wall's painted surface. In February 2023 it returned to the church and hung in a new position at the west end of the building.
