It holds the alabaster tomb of William Rudhall, who died in 1530. The Rudhall Almshouses nearby were repaired in 1575 and are Grade II* listed. In 1637 a cross was raised in the churchyard to remember 315 townsfolk who died of plague that year. It became a Grade II* structure in 1952 and a scheduled monument in 1997. John Kyrle leased ground from the Marquess of Bath in 1696, creating The Prospect as a garden and walkway. Dr John Egerton began boat trips down the Wye valley in 1745.
