A real gem of a church - but one we had never heard of until we visited it as part of our cemetery survey.
 
 
 This gravestone has a number of interesting features. The mason had a problem with the surname of the father of the three dead children - was it Lloyd or Loyd? Edward Lloyd seems to have been a blacksmith and he was married to Sarah.
 
They lost two children in June 1781 (Elizabeth aged 2 and Richard aged 1) and another, Sarah, in 1790 when she was 12.
