The effigies within the church are beautiful and have stood the test of time well---I place flowers in the flower holder clasped in the hands of Elizabeth de Burgh--William Oake is inscribed  along with others but the  churchwarden has no idea how this holder was created  or by who and why----it was not there in 2005 nor 2006 --so someone has created this for some reason in the recent past...William Oak is my x5 great grandfather and we are linked to the Starling family--a farmer of Burrough Green and the Oak family also ran the Bull Inn and much  much later in time my 1st cousin--unrelated to the Oak family also ran the pub in the 1970s onwards--
