More about this scene

St Mary's is another restored Norman church. Dating from around 1200, additions were made in the 1400s; a transept was demolished at that time. Restorations were made by John Colson in 1862. The interesting monuments include one commemorating Thomas Pile and his wife, 1560 and 1561: this is a large composition of two recumbent figures and a younger couple, Sir Gabriel Pile and his wife, kneeling at their feet, with children by the side of the older couple.

I am looking for any trace of John Smith who married Repentance Obriant in Collingbourne-Kingston on 25th December 1773. She was my late husband's 6x gr.grandma and any info about the area of descendants would be great.
