This view is intended to show the church in context, in the High Street. For a closer look, and for the main description, see Image; other photographs of the building are linked from there. Click on the end-note title for related images, including surviving memorials in the kirkyard. Of the two large gate-piers beside the entrance, only the one on the left is fully in view in the present picture. In the 1950s, the space under that gate-pier was not empty as it now is, but was occupied by a drinking fountain of the kind that was often to be seen at the time on streets and in parks; no trace of that drinking fountain can now be seen. For a view of the two large gate-piers from the other side, see Image Another contributor's earlier photograph is very similar to the present picture: Image
