The church notice board.

Your first view of the church.

The graveyard has some interesting headstones with a skull and cross bones on them.

They represent the minimum mortal remains that a soul needed to enter heaven.

The porch with sundial over the door and another sundial on the wall (upper right).

The unusual pattern of windows reflects the church's long history.

A most unusual pediment to a headstone.
