At the NW edge of St Deinst's churchyard in the Church of England Diocese of Hereford. The most likely origin of the village name is the Garron Brook, a tributary of the River Wye. A less likely (perhaps fanciful) explanation of the village name is the Welsh word "garan" which means heron, stork or crane. This could explain the bird depiction on the gate on the right.
