Church

What is recorded here

In the heart of a large graveyard, a low grassy mound still marks the vanished church, its rectangle buried beneath soil and modern headstones. The site sits beside a holy well and a possible early enclosure, suggesting a place where prayer and death intertwined for generations. What remains is not stone but memory: a flattened shadow of worship, waiting to be imagined rather than seen.
At the centre of a large graveyard (KD018-019003-) which also contains a holy well (KD018-019002-), and a possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (KD018-019004-). Shown on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map as a rectangular structure orientated NE-SW (est. dims. L c. 20m; Wth c. 8m) but indicated 'Site of', i.e. as no longer extant, on the latest ed. (1910) of the map. The site is marked by a low, grass-covered, rectangular mound (dims. L 13m E-W; Wth 5m; H 0.8-1m) upon which modern headstones have been erected.
