The finely carved monument to John St.John, 2nd Viscount St.John (d 1748) is found in an awkward position for viewing, on the south wall of the family chapel opposite the great monument to Sir John St.John 1st Baronet.

Sir John died abroad and the monument commemorates both him and his wife, Anne (Furnese) 2nd Viscountess St.John (d.1747).
