History - Memorials
There are several memorials in the church and only a few are listed below. As well as memorials, several people have given aspects of the church and practical items in memory of loved ones.
Chislett Memorial
In the floor of the south aisle is a slab of slate with the armorial bearings of William Chislett, who was Deputy Auditor of the Court of the Exchequer in the time of Charles II. This slab was originally in the centre of the nave, but was moved when the church was rebuilt in 1853.

Geale Memorial
Originally the Geale memorial of brass was lit into a blue stone beneath the east window of the old church. The four plate memorial was cast out into the churchyard when the wall was pulled down in 1865 but was subsequently recovered by Mr Ruben Watts, a former parish clerk who dug them up. There are four pieces. The Geale family were influential landowners in Yateley and its surrounding areas in Tudor times.
