Interior of Upton Church, Buckinghamshire, 1850. St Laurence's Church at Upton-cum-Chalvey, 12th-century Norman. 'The interior presents a sad picture of desolation. The view we give is taken from within the tower, looking towards the chancel...The nave roof is arched, but totally devoid of ornament...On the north pier of the chancel arch is the tablet to Sir William Herschel; and near it is that to dame Mary his wife, both of the simplest style. The monument of the great astronomer is delineated in our View, and the reader will not fail to observe how lowly is the final resting-place of the most gifted man of the present century'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
