'Armada' Chest in the Church
The chest had been locked for many years and in 2010 a locksmith was engaged to open it. The contents were found to consist mainly of legal documents and other family papers belonging to Mr. Jonathan Slatter, a farmer, who lived in Mickleton at Salford House (later St Lawrence's House, now the Three Ways House Hotel) during the 1870s & 1880s. The papers were sorted and listed by village resident, Linda Phelpstead. A copy of the list, along with notes on the Slatter family history, is held in the church.
