This round building is a stunning survival. It is all that remains of the round chapel of St Mary Magdalene. Round chapels such as this are extremely rare; they were usually associated with the Knights Templar (as was the case here), a movement that began in England in 1128.

The tree on the right has since been replaced with cherry trees on either side of the west door. These were planted to commemorate AE Housman, the poet most famous for his volume of poems 'A Shropshire Lad' - one poem begins 'Loveliest of trees, the cherry now Is hung with bloom along the bough'. He died in 1936, and his ashes are buried in the church wall just to the right of this tree.
