Full Description

The churchyard at the Church of St Swithin is depicted on the 2nd edition 25" Ordnance Survey County Series map. It likely dates to at least the early 12th century period, when the church it serves was built (see MLI12522). Several mid 10th to late 11th century Anglo-Saxon sculptural fragments are held inside the church, however, which may indicate an earlier use of this site for burials and possibly suggest the presence of an earlier church (see MLI12526). {1}
