The tower of St Mary's Anglican Church, a Grade II-listed building, is seen here on the other side of Church Lane from Allen's Walk. It seems likely that Allen's Walk was named after the Allens, a family associated with the parish from 1820 onwards. Some of their graves can be seen in the graveyard. A church was constructed here in 1270 when the family of Arnehall, or Arnold were prominent in the area. As an example, Ralph de Arnehall was created a knight by Edward I in 1278. The chancel has been dated to the fourteenth century when the Earls of Hereford were in possession of the property.
