The Walker Heneage Monument 1731.
Among memorials to the Walker and Walker-Heneage families is a large wall monument of veined marble commemorating Heneage Walker (d. 1731). It stands in the north aisle and consists of an inscribed tablet flanked by, Corinthian pilasters and surmounted by an open segmental pediment, putti, and a cartouche of arms.

In fact it is a very graceful piece of workmanship, traces of the original colouring and gilding can be seen on the coat of arms in the segmental pediment and the cupids are truly desperate! The monument described by Professor Pevsner as a "surprisingly grand and pure piece. A standing wall monument of white and grey streaked marble and an open segmented pediment with two desperate putti on it."

The genealogy of the ancient family of Heneage is deduced by authentic evidences from Sir Robert Heneage, who held considerable possessions in the county of Lincoln in the reign of Henry III.

Heneage Walker, esq. of Hadley. was the Chief Usher of the Exchequer, dying without issue 15th May 1731, was succeeded in his estates and offices by his only brother, John Walker

John Waker, esq. of Lyneham, who died on the 27th April1758, aged 60 years, leaving by Dyonisia his wife, eldest daughter of James Colebrooke, esq. and sister of Sir James and Sir George Colebrooke, baronets, successively of Gatton, in the county of Surrey three sons and three daughters, John Walker was buried in Woodborough Church Wiltshire.

The Pulpit
A pulpit (from Latin pulpitum "scaffold", "platform", "stage") is a small elevated platform where a member of the clergy stands in order to read the Gospel lesson and deliver a sermon.

In many mainline Christian churches, there are two speaker’s stands in the front of the church. Typically, the one on the left (as viewed by the congregation) is called the pulpit. Since the Gospel lesson is often read from the pulpit, the pulpit side of the church is sometimes called the gospel side.

The other speaker's stand, usually on the right (as viewed by the congregation), is known as the lectern. The word lectern comes from the Latin word meaning "to read", because the lectern primarily functions as a reading stand. It is typically used by lay people to read the scripture lessons (except for the Gospel lesson), to lead the congregation in prayer, and to make announcements. Because the epistle lesson is usually read from the lectern, the lectern side of the church is sometimes called the epistle side.

A majority of the family memorials are sited on the upper walls of the north aisle
