Repositioned headstones

The Old Church was declared redundant in 1972. Headstones in the old graveyard around the church were removed and placed around the perimeter of the site. The ground was filled and levelled.

Where the inscriptions have been readable there positions were recorded. The north row headstones are in their original positions along the western and northern boundary. The headstones originally moved to the south side were repositioned in 2018. Some were positioned on the west side to the left of the entrance. Many were used to form a path
