William Shakespeare was buried in the chancel in 1616 and his gravestone lies alongside those of other members of his family.
The wonderful set of 26 carved misericord seats in the chancel date from this time. All manner of things, both sacred and secular are represented, from angels and mythical beasts to a man and woman fighting. In the bookshop there is a booklet giving details and photographs of all the misericords.
