14 April 2023: Inspection finds that the churchyard does not appear to be maintained. Much of the remains of enclosures and mausolea are in ruinous condition, having suffered from collapse and stone loss. Many of the headstones are leaning or lying on the ground and partially buried. There is established vegetation growth on and around much of the remains of structures. Very little of the boundary wall remains. Move to At Risk.
