The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.

The church itself is 15th century and the county archives hold burial registers from 1580. So the lack of visible tombstones is more likely due to them being removed, than there being large areas of unused space close to the church building.
