The church is a small building consisting of a tower, nave, and chancel, and is void of architectural interest. {60b} In the wall at the end of the chancel is a plate of brass, on which is sculptured the representation of a person full robed, kneeling on a cushion before a reading desk, in the sinister upper corner is a shield containing arms, and under the figure this inscription: “Here lyeth GEORGE LITTLEBVRY of Somersby seventh Sonne of Thomas Littlebvry of Stainsbie Esq. who died the 13 daye of Octob. in ye yeare of our Lord 1612 being abovt the age of 73 yeares.” The shield contains these arms:—1. Two lioncels statant guardant in pale Quarterly, 1 and 4, Barry of six; 2 and 3 A bend. 3. Three shark bolts. 4. A mullet between three crescents, a dexter canton. On the fesse point a rose for difference. Against the skreen between the nave and chancel is a marble tablet surmounted by a shield containing the arms of BURTON, Sable, a chevron argent, between three owls argent, ducally crowned or; the crest, an owl argent, crowned as before. Under the arms is this inscription: “Here lieth Mrs. KATH. BURTON Daughter of Richard Langhorne Esq. She died Aug. 25 A.D. 1742. Also ROBERT BURTON Esq. Citizen of London, Husband of the said Mrs. Katherine Burton. He died Nov. 30 1753.” The advowson of the rectory belongs to the lord of the manor. In a woody dell in this parish is a spring, gently bursting from the rock, called Holy-well, but the name of the saint to whom it was dedicated is not preserved. According to the returns of 1811, this village at that time contained 14 houses and 73 inhabitants. SCRIVELSBY.
