The great actress Sarah Siddons (1755-1831) is buried in the churchyard of St Mary's. The statue by Chavilland erected in 1897 derives from the painting "Mrs. Siddons as the Tragic Muse," by Sir Joshua Reynolds in 1784. There is a dagger in her hand, as Lady Macbeth was her most famous role. A mask of tragedy is seen under her chair.
