The Rector has recently discovered a memorial
in St Giles that, in spite of her having been around for years, she was
not aware.
In the late 19th century the Morley tomb which had been in North wall of the Nave was removed and placed in the bell tower. This means it is not easily visible except to the bell ringers. However a PhD student from the University of Winchester researching memorialisation in the medieval era contacted the Rector to enquire about what she believed to be one of the rare cadaver style tombs that was part of this monument. This resulted in the Rector venturing into the bell tower, something she would not normally do, as it is up a steep and narrow flight of steps for which she is not built. Photographs were taken and on receiving these the student visited St Giles to see what more could be learnt about this memorial.
