4.12 In the pleasure grounds immediately to the east of the <strong>Hall</strong>, a number of slate<br />

plaques commemorate the date (mainly early nineteenth century) and<br />

circumstances of the planting of number individual trees by members of the<br />

Beaumont family (although it should be acknowledged that some of the trees<br />

have subsequently been cut down and some plaques may have been moved<br />

away from their original position). At the entrance to the churchyard from Ashby<br />

Road stands a lychgate (14), which was erected by the parishioners in 1901 in<br />

memorial of Elizabeth Mary Beaumont (nee Alderson); the wife of Canon W.B.<br />

Beaumont (Kellys, 1904, p62).<br />
