The church and the motte and bailey castle from the north-west

The churchyard surrounds the church on all sides and covers an area of 0.3 hectares (0.7 acres).

The churchyard is irregular in shape; to the north and west are straight boundaries with the adjoining properties, but to the east and south the boundaries follow a curving line along the road. The church is positioned towards the south with burials on all sides. To the north-west is a motte-and-bailey castle probably of 11th century date and it is entirely possible that the churchyard occupies part of the outer bailey of this castle.

A Grade II listed late 17th century sundial is situated to the south of the south transept. The inscription on its base reads:

ROBT   DOWT ENO   HIL 1692     W

The World War I war memorial is also located in the churchyard, near the east window.
