In the churchyard, on the right of the principal entrance to the church itself, is a headstone to the memory of Eldad Holland, parish clerk, -

"whoe departed this life ye 29th day of 7 ber., 1722"

It was this Eldad Holland who paraphrased a portion of the Mornign Service, to compliment William the third.
