Statement of Interest

A good example of an 18th century churchyard with a number of well-detailed headstones and memorials. The churchyard and former parish church adjacent to the NW (see separate listing) form an important grouping, significantly located at the centre of a small settlement, which appears to have changed little since the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map.
