The footpath goes right through the grounds of this Grade II listed Norman Church. It dates back to the c.950s. As you walk through, take a careful look at the gravestones as not all is as it seems. Can you spot the 'No Ball Games' signs designed to blend in with the tombstones?

Hiking

In the search for a worthy patronage for this church, dating back to the end of the first Christian millennium, the Archangel Michael was initially chosen, but then it was thought that it wouldn't hurt to significantly increase the number of intercessors. Thus, the idea arose not only to choose one patron, but to extend this to the entire heavenly host (i.e., "All Angels").
