West Milton: the churchyard

The 15th-century tower is all that remains of West Milton's former church, St. Mary Magdalene. A notice on the door (around the other side) explains that the owners of the neighbouring cottage have looked after the tower for 45 years and, 30 years ago, they accepted an offer from the diocese to purchase the tower and churchyard. The churchyard is therefore essentially part of the family's garden but public access remains as there is a public footpath running through it.
