(6) Chancel and East End

The present Chancel was built in the 13th century, replacing an earlier and shorter Norman chancel.

At the East end of the church, where the altar stands, you can see the present three-light East Window, dating from the 19th century but designed in a 13th-century style. It may be a rebuilding of the original window.

 Continue along the path towards the other entrance to the churchyard before turning back towards the North Porch. On the right-hand side of the path, you may notice a grave marked with a skull and crossbones, a traditional symbol of death and mortality. Today, this imagery is more commonly associated with the “Jolly Roger,” and visitors—both children and adults—often ask whether it is a “pirate’s grave.”
