The celebrated John Locke resided at the mansion-house
of Otes in this parish, during the last two years of his
life; he died in October 1704, and was interred on the
south side of the church-yard: over his remains is a
black marble tomb, enclosed within iron rails, and on the
wall of the church is his epitaph in Latin, composed
by himself." [From Samuel Lewis A Topographical Dictionary of England (1831) - copyright Mel Lockie 2016]
