Dist:0.4km<br/>This car park is used by customers of the nearby Black Horse pub, and probably by others too. You can continue to the end of the car park, where a track can be followed, which is one of the routes to the school and the church. There are some nice views en route too.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Part of the attractive churchyard, looking towards the lychgate. The lychgate was constructed in memory of those who served in World War I (1914-1918). It contains a list of the men from the parish who fought in both World Wars. The bell hanging there is from HMS Cranham, a former minesweeper, and was presented to the church in 1967. Some of the splendid yew trees in the churchyard can also be seen in this view, together with the Horlick family tomb. The two brothers, who emigrated to the USA in Victorian times, and founded the Horlick malted milk drink company, were related to this family. Other photos:- [[2855975]].
