Memorials

The churchyard has many old memorial gravestones to past members of the parish and a number of these stones are well weathered owing to the exposed nature of the location. In recent years, there have been fewer burials and they now take place within close proximity to the eastern border fence and in family plots. Cremation has now become more popular and there are two Gardens of Remembrance by the entrance to the church, with a third planned. There are further memorials in the church, some dating back to the 17 th century. Others are more modern and include tapestry, furniture, candlesticks, lanterns, altars, altar and lectern frontals, given in memory of loved ones.
