There is a wall throwing a lovely view to the church and graveyard. There are no old graveyards in the parish. They say in olden times unbaptised children were buried in the gardens. People don't bury in their own parish graveyards, they generally bury with their own people as the old people counted it very unlucky to make a new grave.
