What is recorded here

Freestanding grotto, built 1967. Composed of random rubble limestone, with three segmental-arch recesses of various sizes, one containing statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary, another has altar. Stone paving to front. Bounded by pebble-dashed wall with rendered piers and concrete capstones and steel railings.
This grotto, located in a very prominent position in the village, on an elevated site opposite the cemetery, and near Saint Mary's Church, is a dominant feature of the streetscape. The stonework forming the grotto is well executed, and adds artistic interest to the site.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
