The rectangular graveyard (map dims. 50m E-W; 35m N-S) associated with Holy Trinity Church (LH005-042010-) is inter-denominational. The headstones range in date from the 18th century onwards and the earliest inscribed gravestone records the death of nine year old, Ann Toomes, who died November 1703. In the south of the graveyard is a chamfered coffin shaped slab set upside down at the head of a grave: only the lower portion is visible and it is of medieval date (see LH005-052011-).
Restoration work in the church in 1991 led to the discovery of a number of skeletons under the floor boards. These yielded radiocarbon dates of AD 1442-1650 and AD 1517-1666 (Gleeson and Moore 1993, 44-5). Further building work in 1999 led to the discovery of two more skeletons (Bermingham 2000, 189).
