I met the St. Mary's volunteers, let by the indomitable Helen, and I got started on the clearing the area around some of the headstones of nefarious weeds with the trusty mattock and then clearing, The others did similar and we made good progress. Many headstones and also writing on the markers on the ground next to church became clearer. I highly suggest a visit to this historic, local landmark!

A Church looking for assistance
he church was established sometime in the 12th century. There is reference to a church here in 1274, and evidence of a building even before then. By 1356 it was dedicated to St Mary.[2] The building has been altered many times since its foundation and the oldest parts, the north wall and the tower (which seems to have had a steeple during the 16th and 17th centuries), date from the reign of King Henry VII.
