I am looking for any information about the Nichols family who used to own Chelmarsh Hall. The Nichols and the Marcy families go back to 1805, where Elizabeth Nichols married George Marcy.
Many thanks

Also, inside the Church there are three memorials to several NICHOLS.

William who died in 1801, son of William and Mary. Also his wife Ann and their son John.
