Buried side by side, Thomas Scaife and Joseph Rutherford. Both engineers were on the footplate of a locomotive "Surprise" when its boiler blew up. Scaife died instantly, but Rutherford died the following day. The locomotive depicted is not the locomotive involved. The church of St John the Baptist dates from the 12th Century, but construction is chiefly from the 14th and 15th Centuries; it is another church on which the Victorian architect Gilbert Scott worked. In the churchyard is the base of an ancient preaching cross, and inside, the WW1 memorial bears int. al. the name of Captain Noel Chavasse, one of only three servicemen to earn two Victoria Crosses.
