Holy Cross Church, Burley

The church was restored in about 1796 when square-headed windows were inserted, and box pews were added.

[4] Holy Cross is constructed in stone of differing colours, and has red tile roofs.

At the top of the tower is a battlemented parapet, under which is a moulding carved with flowers and animals' heads.

In the church is an alabaster monument with mutilated effigies dating from the late 15th century.

There is also a memorial by Chantrey to Lady Charlotte Finch who died in 1813,[1] and who had been governess to the children of George III.

[3] There is a memorial to George Finch within the church and his grave lies north of the chancel.
