The church contains two monuments commemorating the war dead of the parish.
Aa marble and stone tablet is inscribed with 29 names of the men of the parish who gave their lives 1914-1918.
A plain rectangular stone tablet is inscribed with 10 names from 1939-45. [3]
A black and white photograph of the church was taken in the early 1980s and printed in a published booklet [4]
A small trial trench in the courtyard of 4 Stather Road adjacent to the churchyard wall revealed the skeleton of a child demonstrating that the churchyard extended further west in the past ; the churchyard wall probably dates from the 18th/19th century and was shown to have no depth of foundation.
