Visit Notes

Sunday, 23rd February 2003

This splendidly patterned cross is scandalously unprotected and weathering away fast! The knot work patterns that adorn it are fantastically executed. For best viewing come around midday.

Also in the graveyard look for two very nice graveslabs. One is on a child's grave and has beautiful little doodles on it, the other is a figure shaped slab.

In the newer section of the graveyard is a nicely housed holy well.
