church fell into disrepair many years ago and a smaller church was
built within the ruins. The war memorial appears in the churchyard
as a plain cross surmounting a rough hewn plinth with a plaque at
the front. There are four names listed by forename and surname for
World War 1 only. There are also two Rolls Of Service hanging in the
church.
