3 gravestones on the S side of the site of the old church.
Late C17 and early C18. Gritstone, 3 are small shaped
headstones. From E to W:
(i) Round-arched headstone, 'HERE L(IETH)/ HINTERRED/ THE BODY

The stones have deeply carved and finely ornamented lettering
typical of the period and the group represents some of the
earliest marked burials surviving from the setting of the
medieval chapel.
HISTORICAL NOTE: the chapel became the Church of St Matthew
mid C18, was enlarged 1819, again in 1840, had clock, spire
and bells added 1854, was repaired and extended 1865 and
replaced by the present church (qv) in 1898. The building was
demolished in 1935. A Roman altar was found in the northern
part of the graveyard in 1879.
