Sumptuous memorials to 300 years of family history

Sumptuous memorials to 300 years of the Robinson family fill the south chapel of medieval St Andrew's, which lies next to the Robinson seat of Cranford Hall. There are also memorial brasses to various Fosbrokes, who were here for three earlier centuries.

This Jane Austen type image is, however, only a part of the story: a Norman arcade, additions from every subsequent Medieval century, some Flemish glass and a complete set of furnishings from the incumbency of a nineteenth-century member of the Robinson family give this church a rich and varied history.
