Churchyard cemetery of St Botolph's church, Ratcliffe on the Wreake.
"The pretty church of St Botolph’s consists of a nave, chancel and tower with a tall crocketed spire. There was originally a north aisle but this was removed between 1791 and 1795, internally the arches of the north aisle can clearly be seen. The chancel dates from the early 14th century and is unusually lower than the nave floor with a few steps down."
