From The River Were Benefice Bulletin:
Anne Cara-Southey, whose family used to live at Eastleigh Court, visited St. Aldhelm’s Church on Wednesday 27th August with her daughter and two of her grandchildren.
Anne’s uncle Arthur Howard Southey donated the carved screen shown in the photo in memory of his wife Emily Elizabeth Mima (1865-1913).
The stained glass window on the southern wall is a memorial to two Southey sons.
