At the parish church of St Chad, Robert Waring Darwin, the father of the naturalist Charles Darwin, and Susannah Darwin, his mother, are buried in the churchyard, as is Charles' sister Susan. Indoors are two parish war memorials, a marble tablet commemorating the First World War dead, and a three-light east window commemorating those of the Second World War.[1]
