Description :
The churchyard is now irregular, but before the recent extension to the N, the churchyard was, as on the tithe map of 1842, quadrangular but a curved N and S sides; it is flat. The present boundary mainly consists of a coursed rubble wall, which is embanked at the base on the S side; there are railings around the extension. The main entrance consists of double gates with an adjoining stile at the W end of the N side, with a path round the W end of the church to the S porch; there is also a single gate at the N end of the W side. The churchyard cross survives (PRN 00464g).
