This is one of only two pubs in a churchyard in England and is believed to be 700 years old!

The churchyard is immense and timed right, a visit will provide ample opportunity to walk through meadow flowers. Inside, the church does not fail to please either. The sunlight coming through the stained glass enhances the wonderful sense of calmness that is felt when you walk through the door. A lovely Jesse tree is just one of the gems waiting to greet you.
