Notes about this historic site

1 A grass covered mound c2.4m to 3m in height lies to the east of the church. It may represent the remains of an eastern chapel associated with the Abbey. However, according to the vicar’s secretary the mound was heightened many years ago by the dumping of rubble on its top.
