Notes:

St Leonard’s Church Streatham was the principal place of worship for the Streatham Thrale family, comprising Ralph Thrale MP, his son Henry Thrale and Henry's wife Hester Lynch Thrale née Salusbury, her mother Hester Maria Thrale and their children during the time that the family lived at Streatham Park. Here is the Thrale burial vault and were buried several Thrales. The church has two of the three mourning tablets with a Latin epitaph written by Dr. Samuel Johnson. The other is for Oliver Goldsmith.
