I visit the church grounds of St Mary’s often because I have a few relatives buried in the church yard, the oldest from the 1700’s. My great grandfather is also buried there. The church itself is only open for 2 months of the year so it worth planning a visit for then. One year, my sister, nephew and myself, were lucky enough to visit at the right time and meet the wonderful ladies and gentlemen that look after the church. I’m not sure if they consistently pick the same two months every year to open so worth checking before going.
