The half pit wheel is in memory of all the men who worked, and in some cases died, in the local coal mines (a device used elsewhere to similar effect). It was erected in 2017 in the south-east corner of St Peter's churchyard. The church building itself Image closed in 2001 and was demolished in 2014 due, ironically, to mining subsidence.
