G. Scott R.A. at a cost of about £3,000; a chapel (formerly a school-room), forming the eastern end of the south aisle, was restored in 1862 in memory of Lieut.-Gen. Sir Harry George Waklyn Smith bart. G.C.B. born at Whittlesey in 1788, and died in London, October 12, 1860; a life-size bust, by G. G. Adams, and a tablet have been erected, and stained glass inserted in three of the windows, as memorials to the same officer: the stained west window was given by the late Mrs. Waller, wife of the late vicar, and the reredos by the late Thomas Bowker esq.: in the chancel are sedilia and a stoup formerly used for holy water: the church affords 900 sittings, all of which are free. The register dates from the year 1559, but the earlier portion is partly obliterated." [Kelly's Directory - 1900]
