Dist:0.6km<br/>Primroses grow among the gravestones. They have two types of flower to ensure pollination by insects with long tongues, such as Bees and Wasps. Ants are attracted to the food stored in the seeds; they also disperse the seeds. In the Middle Ages, a concoction was made from the foliage for treating gout and rheumatism, and an infusion of the roots was used for headaches. When planted in a garden or hung dried on the front door, primroses will attract the company of Faeries. If you have them growing under your care, do not let them die! The Faeries will be deeply offended by your carelessness.

For a view of the church [[426320]] and http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm34168 A bench mark is an Ordnance Survey arrowhead sign found on walls, bridges, churches and specially erected triangulation pillars where the altitude above sea-level has been accurately measured by surveyors. The arrowhead points to a horizontal line above it which marks the exact altitude. With rivets and pivots there is no datum (horizontal line) cut, the pointed-to horizontal surface defining the datum height.
