Some extra information, courtesy of Evelyn and a leaflet from the church: "Merton Hall was built in the early 17th century, but sadly most of the original building was destroyed by a fire in 1956. From the south side of the churchyard there is a beautiful view across the park, towards the remaining wing of the Hall (19th century) ...." and " Merton Park is part of the estate of the de Grey family, who have held the manor of Merton since the early 14th century when Sir Thomas de Grey of Cornard in Suffolk married the heiress Isabell Baynard, whose ancestor Ralph Baynard had been given the manor of Merton by William the Conqueror. In 1780 William de Grey was created 1st Baron Walsingham. The present Lord Walsingham still lives in Merton."
