More about this scene

In Church Road there are some older houses and the parish church; the south churchyard boundary runs along Church Lane to the left. St Helen's churchyard contains a great historical treasure: an Anglo-Saxon churchyard cross, the most important pre-Conquest monument in Nottinghamshire (right). Over ten feet high, with a protective hat-like capping of 1820, its date is uncertain, but it is probably 8th-century. The iron gates in the foreground came from Wellington College in 1922.
