Within the church's graveyard is a headstone in memory of Thomas Gardiner, a post-boy murdered hereabouts by two [[Highway robbery|highway robbers]] in January 1733. The inscription declares he was 'barbarously murdered' aged 19. The robbers - two brothers by the name of Hallam - committed another murder near [[Faldingworth]] before being arrested. They were convicted of murder at Lincoln and executed at the site of their crimes. (Thomas Gardiner's headstone declares he was killed on 3 January 1732 since at the time Britain used the [[Julian Calendar]].)<ref>Urban, Sylvanus.
