Description:The monument to Sir Thomas Skrymsher which stands in All Saints Church, Forton. Sculpted in alabaster by Garrat Hollemans. Sir Thomas Skrymsher Knight, of Aqualate and his wife Anne, daughter of Ralph Sneyd of Keele and effigies of their five sons, John, Thomas, Ralph, Gerard and Robert and four daughters, Anne, Elizabeth, Mary and Margaret. They were married on 15th September 1595 and Sir Thomas died in 1633 and his wife in 1656. Sir Thomas was the Lord of the Manor of Mere and built the first Hall at Aqualate.
The earliest stonework in All Saints' Church dates from about 1200, and can found in the east wall of the chancel and part of the north wall; above the vestry door can be seen an original lancet window. The south front of the church is Georgian. Restoration work was carried out by W.D. Caroe between 1909 and 1910. Inside the church are 17th century monuments to the Skrymsher family and a white marble font, dated 1723. The stained glass windows were broken by Cromwell's officers during the Civil War.
