In the burial ground at the back of the Church, stands an empty tomb. It is oblong in shape and its sides are approximately 4 feet in height. Its heavy stone lid is loose.

As youngsters, a group of us would sometimes enter the Churchyard from the small lane, which runs between the old houses and the edge of the Cemetery, shove the lid partly to one side and peer inside. In the corner of the tomb nearest the Church, appeared to be a square cut hole, approximately a foot and a half square.
