churchyard

The churchyard covers an area of 1.4 ha. It has been considerably enlarged since the mid-19th century. Henrietta, Countess of Carnarvon donated £100 to extend the churchyard in 1870 and an acre was added to it in 1910. A further extension to the north-east was added after the Second World War.

The church is located approximately in the centre and there are burials on the south, west and north.
