There are two chest tombs in the churchyard which are listed ancient monuments. They are sited west of the porch and date from the 17th and 18th centuries. The churchyard is small. Even so, there are 900 recorded burials between 1605 and 1840 and it is estimated that more than 2,000 people have been buried in the churchyard over the years. Burials were discontinued in 1882. Let's take at look at perhaps our most famous burial, Stephen Rodway. |
