Navigation

The churchyard covers around five acres which includes a wild area, an extensive area of grass and two steep banks where over the years trees has been planted. It is cared for by parishioners whose aim is to make it an oasis of peace and tranquility. Visitors can make use of the numerous seats to sit and contemplate, as well as marvel at the panoramic views to the north over our neighbour Swindon and beyond to the Cotswolds on the horizon. A fine old yew dominates the front which protects some fine old tombs under its wide branches.
