This pathway in the churchyard of St Mary, Barnes Image is inscribed with the names of those whose remains are buried in the churchyard.

St Mary's Church, Barnes was built in the early 12th century. It was enlarged and re-consecrated in 1215 after the signing of Magna Carta. It was extended to the west in the 13th century, and later to the east, creating a chancel. A west tower was added in the late 15th century. The north wall was demolished in the late 18th century to create a north aisle. A major fire on 8 June 1978 destroyed parts of the church, but left the tower and Norman chapel almost intact.  Memorials to the Boer War are not common. This one is just inside the lych gate. See also https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2915299 and https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4276426

The Homestead was built in about 1720. The house, and also the wall and railings fronting the road, are Grade II listed. According to Wikipedia "Sir Ralph Moor, high commissioner of the British Southern Nigeria Protectorate poisoned himself there in 1909. The coroner's jury determined that "the poison was deliberately taken whilst temporarily insane after suffering acutely from insomnia", having heard evidence that Moor had suffered for the last four years on his return from Africa with malarial and backwater fever that induced insomnia - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Moor

This side chapel in St Mary's Image, along with the tower, is the only part of the ancient church that survived a major fire in the 1970s. The church is however still listed grade 2* (list entry number 1358083).
