transcribed by Sarah Reveley and team of Rootsweb Westmorland Listmembers
* Warcop was visited by J. H. Crump and E. Bellasis, 18 August, 1886. "In
this churchyard are 2 headstones, 3 altar tombs, and a flat slab, all to S.
or E. of church, the inscriptions on which are quite illegible. Also on the
S. side a recumbent female figure in stone, wearing a wimple, the hands
clasped, locally called "the old lady ofWarcop," probably part of an old
intramural monument. {Mr. Crump). Hilton Porch–"There's no Monument in it
more than a very large Blew Through Stone (as they call it), which has had
some plates of Brass upon it. But all that's gone." Bp. Nic. Visit., 1703.
The Rev. C. M. Preston the vicar, and the Rev. C. B. Norcliffe have most
kindly gone over the MS. of this section. One inscription to the S. read
thus much only "Warcop died . . . 1770 in the 55 Y. . . . Age."

above the.window, inasmuch as the Tower belonged to the Nevils. These arms
are now set up over tbe entrance of a pigsty belonging to the Vicarage. 'To
what base uses we may return, Horatio!' No, it is more likely that ye Nevil
arms were in the Bleatarn Porch, and yet Machell has made a mistake in
saying they were in the Hilton Porch. The Bleatarn Porch belonged to the
Tower, which was Nevils." Hill MSS., 7. p. 448.
