The wooden memorial cross erected under the shelter in this churchyard formerly marked the grave of Charles William Reginald Duncombe, 2nd Earl of Feversham Colonel of Yeaoman Rifles 21st K.R.R. killed at Flers in France and buried at the spot where he fell on September 15th 1916 during the Battle of the Somme. Lord Feversham's body was removed from the plave where it was first buried to the Cemetery at Flers and the Cross that had been made of wood from a blitzed farmhouse nearby was brought to England and placed here by his wife and by his son Charles William Slingsby Duncombe, 3rd Earl of Feversham.
