What is recorded here
St John's Anglican church (C of I) aligned on a N-S axis was built in 1790 near the site of an earlier medieval church (DU017-041002-) a fragment of which now stands to the SE of the 18th-century church within the SE quadrant of the graveyard (dims. c. 50m N-S x 57m E-W) which is enclosed by a polygonal-shaped or roughly D-shaped wall with curving wall along E side of graveyard. This wall was considered 'very old' by Austin Cooper who mentioned it in his diary in 1780 (Price 1942, 54-6). The graveyard is entered through a gateway at NW with a second gateway leading to an extension on the S side. Within the E side of the graveyard there are two early-medieval granite crosses (DU017-041003/004) with an early-Christian baptismal font (DU017-041007-) in S quadrant of graveyard. Memorials in the graveyard date from the 17th-19th century and there are at least three architectural fragments from the levelled medieval church visible within the graveyard.
