Naturally the presence of a mole or two in the graveyards does cause some concern, but it's good to know they are abouts. St John the Baptist church was actually St Mary the Virgin church from its founding in, perhaps, the twelfth century. Somewhere along the line (and it's not recorded anywhere) the dedication was transfered to St John the Baptist. It's possible the name changed after the Reformation.
