Notes
1. The chapel was stripped and made into an estate office during the restoration of the estate. It was reported that the chapel was to be dismantled and rebuilt nearer to the house as part of the business as a sporting centre, and that the memorials, currently in store, would be replaced at the restoration.
2. The Sandersons who were developing the estate are descendants of the Bainbridges. The estate has now been sold. Following the death of the former owner, Mr. H. Sanderson in 2010, the fate of all the memorials is not now known.
