No-one knows who originally cut this 12 metre maze (technically a Labyrinth - as it has a single entrance and path), or when, but it is only first recorded in 1697 by Abraham de la Pryme.
Whatever the origins of the maze, it has played an important part in the lives of the locals, and games are known to have been played here on May Eve until well into the 19th century.
There is a copy of the maze on a cross in the cemetery and another in the entry porch to the church.
