Path, Church of St Mary the Virgin
The path is bordered by yew trees.
The European yew (Taxus boccata) has a reputation for longevity. Whilst there is no direct evidence to support the view that yew trees were association with pagan worship it is not hard to imagine that they were. The yew, a tree symbolising longevity, death and rebirth became woven into folklore and its association with churchyards may simply be that in certain circumstances its foliage and fruit can be poisonous and in medieval England churchyards were one of the few places fenced against stock.

Calne Free Church
This church has been a Free Church since the nineteenth century. As with many such like, the local congregations were unimpressed by some of the high Anglican teachings and broke away to form their own. The foundation stone was laid in 1867 and the church opened on July 28th, 1868, with some 2-300 worshippers attending. The church is Grade II listed.
