Recorded monuments

• GA068-024 Church
  Description

  In a graveyard on a slight ridge to the N of Ross Lake. On inspection in July 1983, both gables and the S wall of this poorly preserved medieval church (E-W; L 13.9m, Wth 6.9m), constructed of of rough undressed blocks of limestone, survived; only the E section of the N wall remained, the W end had collapsed. The doorway was located in the S wall close to the SW corner and a plain rectangular window was visible in the E gable. Standing 1m to the S of the church was the mortuary chapel of the Martin family, which contained the tomb of Major Poppelton, dated 1848. On re-inspection in March 2010, it was found that most of the ivy growing on the walls of the both buildings had died off following a local graveyard clean-up.

• GA068-024001 Graveyard
  Description

  Associated with 'St. Annin's Church' (GA068-024----). On inspection in July 1983, numerous grave-markers and graves dating to the 18th and 19th centuries were visible within this large roughly rectangular graveyard (c. 87m NNW-SSE; c. 60m ENE-WSW). On re-inspection in March 2020, it was found that a graveyard clean-up had removed most of the vegetation within it. The following images has been uploaded: GA068-024001-_01.jpg View of graveyard from W with St Annin's Church to left and Martin Mortuary Chapel to right.

• GA068-024002 Cross-slab
  Description

  Within the graveyard (GA068-024001-) surrounding St Annin’s Church (GA068-024----). Recorded by Higgins (1987, ii, 376, no. 96), this large subrectangular slab of limestone with a curved or bow-shaped head bears an 18th-century inscription that overlies a two-line ringed cross with wedge-shaped terminals at the head and arms. The cross form appears to be early Christian or early medieval in date and the slab appears to have been recut when the sides were straightened and trimmed to shape the later gravestone.
