More about this scene
To the east of the Old Church, but sharing its graveyard, is the Church of St John The Evangelist. The view of this ragstone building, designed by Henry Clutton in 1894, has changed very little. Close to the buttress nearest the camera, W S Gilbert, of Gilbert and Sullivan fame, sleeps under the widespread wings of a white angel; Gilbert lived at Grimsdyke, a house by Norman Shaw, to the north. Inside the church, which is very rarely open, are the monuments saved from the Old Church - they are well worth seeing.
