Die Kirche von Canons Ashby enthält eine Reihe schöner Grabmonumente wie das von John Turner Dryden, 8th Bart.:

He departed this life at a premature age, after a rapid decline attended with great sufferings, upon Easter day in the year One Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety Seven, leaving a Widow and eldest Son to lament unceasingly his loss and to remember with gratitude his Virtues.
As a grateful but inadequate memorial of his tenderness and affection this Monument to his beloved memory is erected by his disconsolate Widow and affectionate Son.

On some fond breast the parting Soul relies;
Some Pious drops the closing Eye requires;
Even from the Tomb the voice of nature cries.
Even in our Ashes live their wonted fires.
