Visit Notes

Sunday, 5th May 2002

There are two cross bases here, one at each end of the graveyard. The one nearest the gate is very badly weathered but the carvings are still discernible. The second is quite clear, if a little weathered.

As usual the carvings are of biblical scenes, the only one of which is easily identifiable is Adam And Eve.
