“Here lyeth the Body of the Honourable CHARLES DYMOKE Esq. of Scrielsby, Champion of England, who departed this life the 17th day of January, and in the year of our Lord, 1702.
“This Gravestone was laid at the proper cost and charge of His widow, Jane Dymoke, and in the year 1726.”
Against the south wall of the chancel is a very handsome marble monument, ornamented with a bust of the individual whose memory it perpetuates, at the top is a shield containing the arms of Dymoke, with the crest, a sword erect; and underneath is the following inscription:
“Near this place lieth Interr’d the Body of the Honourable LEWIS DYMOKE, Esq. late Champion of England, who performed that service at the Coronation of King George the 1st and King George the 2d. He was the youngest Son of Sir Charles Dymoke and Eleanor his wife, eldest Daughter of the first Lord Rockingham. He departed this Life on the 5th of February 1760, in the 91st Year of his Age.”
On the north side of the chancel is a mural tablet containing this inscription:
“Sacred to the Memory of the Honourable JOHN DYMOKE of Scrivelsby, in this county, Champion of England, who performed that service at the Coronation of His Majesty George 3d, and whose body lieth interred in a Vault near this place: He departed this life, March 6th. 1784. Aged 52 years.”
Against the south wall is the following inscription on a small marble tablet:
“Sacred to the Memory of LEWIS JONES, Esquire, of Great Hale in this County, who departed this Life May 1st 1786. Aged 71 Years.”
The rectory, united in 1741 to that of the adjoining village of Dalderby, is in the presentation of the lord of the manor.
On the inclosure of Wildmore Fen, pursuant to an act of parliament obtained for that purpose in 1801, a portion thereof was allotted to this parish, in lieu of right of common.
By the returns of 1821, this parish at that period contained 24 houses, and 153 inhabitants.
