This churchyard wall, believed to have been built c.1770 when the road past the parish church was improved as a turnpike road, used to be vertical but a 14 metre length of it is now bulging. At the time of taking this photo, options were being considered for how to stabilise it. The extent of the movement can be judged by comparison with the unaffected length of wall behind the tree in the background.
