St Michael & All Angels church at Grove , the Church was converted into a small private house in the late 1970s.
The sitting room of the house has the unusual/bizarre feature of a Medieval human skeleton buried under a glass panel. The skull is surrounded in turn by the skeletons of small birds, thought to have been put there to ward off evil spirits.
Part of the churchyard containing the newest graves was retained by the church authorities, following their controversial decision to sell the church. It remains today but is closed for further burials.
