In 1681 the southern approach to the church was improved and a stone stile was erected; of this the two posts and the step remain. There is an inscription on the adjoining wall "T. B.1681", the initials of the vicar.

(Visited 31/1/1951) A block of granite recorded with inscription. Possibly part of a stone stile; two side stones of which are used as the present gateway close by. Each of these gate posts bear incisions of corresponding size in the ends of the stone and the 'stile' would compare with others of similar type in the neighbourhood. Condition of stone fair.
