Full description
'When the little boundary wall at the west end of St Peter's churchyard was rebuilt recently lots of human bones were dug up.... It is unlikely that bodies would have been buried right up to the edge of the churchyard, so this strongly suggests that the original burial ground extended further to the west, taking in what is now the end of Church Lane and perhaps the land now occupied by shops in the High Street' <1>.
