The National Monuments Service's description
In a graveyard (KD014-043003-). In 1985, two carved, round-arched window surrounds, and a possible quern stone and grinder were noted. While the window fragments are likely to have come from the levelled church (KD014-043001-), it was remarked that a former owner, Canon Sherlock, was a noted antiquarian and collector who might have moved the pieces from elsewhere to this spot (SMR file).
