Description

The churchyard steps and raised pavement, dating from the early 19th century, consist of five stone steps with a roughly elliptical shape that rise directly from the lane into the churchyard. Attached to the steps is a revetted pavement wall that runs westward. This wall is made of coursed rubble stone and has a surface that is mainly grassed over, extending for 50 metres along the lane to the west end of the churchyard.
