Description
This is the churchyard of the parish Church of Holy Trinity, and is shown on the Ordnance Survey 1:2500 map of 1870-95 as a small enclosure around the church. On the OS 1:2500 map of 1896-97, the graveyard has been extended to the west, and a rectory built to the north (HER 17349). The graveyard now has a road built in the 1960s, Northern Way, running N-S through it. The eastern part remains associated with the church, whilst the western part has been used for recreation but is now scrub.
