Smart new gates at the junction of Church Hill and Ipplepen Road, with a view across the village. On the right is [[747194]]. Behind it in the centre is Lovelane Farm. The hilltop wood is mainly in [[SX8764]].

I took this photograph because I liked the sign on the pub which complements both the building and the church.

A small field with a towering beech tree, seen from the junction of Ipplepen Road with Church Hill. The small outbuilding is at Church View Farm, and can just be glimpsed to the left of the larger barn in that photo.

The stack has been painted since [[1674815]] was taken from the same spot.

A view across the rooftops of the village from Marldon Footpath 3 as it descends towards Church Hill. On the right is [[715712]]. Beyond the recreation ground are buildings on Love Lane. The valley beyond drops towards Compton.

The former school, with the distinctive little bellcote and cross, has been divided into a pair of semis. The large house in the background is Marldon House. Seen from the foot of Marldon Footpath 3 where it joins Church Hill.

Dist:0.1km<br/>A view over a barn at the farm from Ipplepen Road. In the left foreground is the edge of Neller (/Nellor) Copse. Through the trees, below right, are buildings at Butterlake on the northern outskirts of Marldon. The little barn, Hulstercombe Linhay, is in [[SX8664]], as are the buildings down the valley towards Compton.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Only the round gatepost has a true vertical in this photo; everything else is slanting downhill! Marldon Footpath 3 drops between walls to meet Church Hill just by St John's Church; the graveyard is across the steep road.

Dist:0.1km<br/>The churchyard slopes quite steeply down to the church; this seat is on the northern edge. In the background are the farm buildings shown in [[715698]].

Dist:0.1km<br/>This accompanies [[715715]], to which it bears a certain resemblance, and [[715724]]. It is at the northwest corner of the tower, of which a pinnacle is also shown.

Dist:0.1km<br/>This is the door at the west end of the church, at the base of the tower. A path follows around the end of the church, below the steeply rising graveyard; some gravestones can be seen behind.

Dist:0.1km<br/>A companion to [[715715]]. This figure is at the southwest corner of the tower. Thanks to Keith Edkins for suggesting that it is a pelican, the symbol of Christ's sacrifice - legend has it that the pelican fed its young with blood from its own breast.
