An old church and memorial
This scene takes in a large part of what was the site of the original St Andrew's church of Clifton from the twelfth century. It was extensively rebuilt in the seventeenth, but eventually was deemed inadequate by the early nineteenth. It was knocked down and the stonework carted off to a quarry to be dumped. A new church was built beside the old one but that too is now lost - thanks to the Blitz. Now the quiet and secluded old yard is home to a few tombstones and the war memorial.
