The National Monuments Service's description
St Mary's church is located on higher ground to the north of a circular graveyard. To rear of the church is the White mausoleum. Between it and the church a parish centre has been erected. The site was subject to archaeological excavation (Licence no. 04E0033) prior to the construction of a parish centre extending north from St Mary’s church. A total of 32 burials were uncovered of which 30 were excavated, two being left under the crypt (built 1802) boundary wall. The majority of burials appeared to date from the 19th century to mid 20th century (Keith 2004). Graveyard is in use.
