Monuments

On the north wall of the chancel is an 18th century memorial to Richard Knapp, a Bencher and Reader of the Inner Temple, London, who died in 1716. The Knapps enjoyed a long association with Berkshire, having lived there since the 14th century. One ancestor, John Knapp, was mayor of Bristol in 1380. A descendant, Francis Knapp, later became Dean of Killala in County Mayo, Ireland. He was buried in Chilton churchyard on 1st June 1717. The Knapps bought Latton Place (now Place Farm) from the Latton family in 1603 and held the manor until it passed to the Morlands in the 19th century. In the nave is a similar memorial (in Latin) to Adam Head, his wife and their three children.
