There is a sign with information about the church on the left handside of the gate when entering the cemetery. Inside the church is a little tuck shop/honesty box for walkers on the coast to coast walk. There is also a little free pantry.
About the church:
"The village church is dedicated to St Mary; it serves the village and a number of other small villages, hamlets and farmsteads in the surrounding countryside. Listed Building built on the site of previous Norman and Saxon structures. The present building was erected during the early 14th century and was enlarged and restored by George Fowler Jones in 1859. Some sarcophagi were found during the restoration and may now be found on the interior wall by the door. In the vestry an unusual stone roof exists which seems to be a portion of the original Saxon structure. In the graveyard is the tomb of Henry Jenkins who, it is claimed, lived to be 169 years old. The dates on the tomb are 1500–1670."
