More about this scene

The church of All Saints at the east end of the village began as a chapel in 1847, increasing in size fifty years later. Opposite was one of the first National Schools to open, but it is no longer in use as a school. Trees abound in the churchyard, along with gravestones bearing familiar local names. But one pauper, Jeppe Knave, who was found murdered, could not find room in the graveyard: no person or authority would pay for his burial.
