The Friends have completed repairs to the tomb of Lady Ann Hyde in the churchyard, which is situated just behind the Waller tomb.  The work was undertaken in  March 2008 and Cliveden Conservation Workshop Limited were the chosen contractors.

Ann Hyde, who was the niece of Edmund Waller, married Edward Clarendon who subsequently became the Earl of Clarendon and she adopted the title of Lady Ann Hyde.

"The Hollis/Anthony tomb was restored in October 2004. No descendants of the Hollis family were located before restoration was begun, but a member of the Anthony family, who believe they may have been descendants, came forward after an article was published in the Bucks Free Press."
