Visit Notes

Sunday, 25th November 2001

The cross here is extremely old, probably 5th or 6th century. It is crudely cut and quite frankly ... wonderful.

In the field next to the church is a motte. Not a particularly large one, though.

300m to the south is the castle, but that is only 10m square.
