STR .Bloom,
who made the transcript, writes: 'Churchyard well cared for but
church stands on hillside, the main entrance at the north.
Consequently all the older interments are upon the north. There
must have been considerable destruction of old stones; some are
loose and leaning against church wall'. There is a plan.
