Inside St Mary's Church are 3 memorial tablets.

"Sacred to the memory of
Capt GEORGE COLLYER
of the Royal Engineers
who at the siege of San Sebastian
after having with courage and judgement,
led on a Column to the Attack,
was killed in the Breach
on the 31st day of August 1813
In the 25th Year of his Age
Weep not! he died as Heroes die,
The death permitted to the Brave:
Mourn not! he lies where Soldiers lie,
And Valour envies such a Grave."
Yet ne'er has Fame alone Affection's tear supprefs'd
Grief turns from Glory's Field to his Celestial Rest"
