Church at West Rainton
The Church of St Mary the Virgin in West Rainton is set attractively in an area of parkland rather than amid the gravestones of a graveyard. There are old graves, out of view to the right of the image but the current burial ground of the village seems to be a cemetery across a road from the church.
