St Margaret, West Raynham, norfolk
This was a lovely find, just in the centre of the village, noticeable from the main road.
It is being looked after well not overgrown in any place, the graves are in a sorry state though but thats what you would expect for an old cemetary and gives it that eerie feeling.
St Margaret was built around the 11th century and was apparenly extended in the 14th. It was abandoned in the 18th century when in the 1720's the lead roof was removed to help pay to restore St Margarets in East Raynham.
Here are the rev's details incase you want more info on its background:
The Revd Dr Edward Bundock
The Rectory, West Raynham, Norfolk, NR21 7HH
Tel: 01328 838 385
The bench reads: Ore stabit fortis arare placet ore stat
in other words O rest abit for tis a rare place to rest at
They have a sence of humour at least.
