What is recorded here
Thirty-seven marked graves and seven tombs cluster around the ruined church, yet unmarked pits and exposed bones near the northern wall suggest the visible record captures only part of what lies beneath. The site still received the dead in February 2011, keeping a ancient rhythm of burial alive on ground that may once have stood isolated within estuary water.
This graveyard is listed in the SMR. It is the graveyard surrounding the church (KE079-061----) which was built in 1815.
