Dist:0.5km<br/>The brightly painted pump stands on the village green and would have been the original water supply for the surrounding houses. The stone trough, now used as a planter and full of spring flowers, has the letters 'MM' carved in the end. The signposted footpath leads to St Mary's Church.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Many churches have a lych gate built over the main entrance to the enclosed area round the church. The name, also spelt lich or lytch, is from the Anglo Saxon 'lich' meaning corpse. The gate marks the division between consecrated and unconsecrated ground, where the bearers sheltered with the coffin, waiting for the clergyman to lead the procession before the burial. The original lych gates had seats, a lych cross and a lych stone - a slab on which the coffin rested.
