The lych-gate is separately listed, as

about half a mile to the south-east, at SO 5980 3162. It was
grade II listed in 1966, when it was described as ruinous, but it
has since been converted to residential use - see

It can be distantly glimpsed on
Streetview, which
saw it in 2009. The stump of a churchyard cross is listed as
