What is recorded here

A graveyard (diam. 76.8m N-S; 71m E-W) enclosing the crest and SW slope of a hill in hilly terrain, under pasture. The N and W sides of the graveyard are straight, while the S and E sides are curving, possibly indicating the curve of an earlier ecclesiastical enclosure (TS077-078002-). The much denuded church (TS077-078001-) is situated W of centre, on the crest of the hill, within the graveyard. The earliest visible headstone is on the W side of the graveyard and dates to 1797, the headstones are mainly of 19th-century date with some 20th-century examples. All headstones, except one altar tomb, are S of the church to the E and W. The church is not indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map where the graveyard is indicated as 'Burial Ground'.
