The gates to "old" St John's" are normally kept locked (a sad reflection of the times) but passing there last Saturday I found them open while items were being collected from the Church. I had a brief (very) look around the part of the burial ground that was accessible - part still being behind a second set of locked gates!!
Graves very, very worn and difficult to read. Some unmarked.
