A small ancient church, situated in the fields of this remote farming village.
No war graves at this location. There is however a private monument to Pte. Gavigan, Fred, Royal Fusiliers, 14th October 1918, age 21.

I had almost missed this one, tucked away behind a farm.
No wargraves present. However, there is a private memorial to a Hamilton Maule Cole R.N., lost at sea on HMS Leopard off Belize.

St. Helens, Skipwith
Actually visited during the summer, the details were misplaced.
Only one headstone carried any noticeable military connection, but from the details it is uncertain if this is infact a wargrave as such. The marker in this case is for a Jason Wayne Roughley, served with the Life Guards, and dated 24th November 2009. I suspect his loss was not on active service, a preliminary search of records for Afghanistan does not list him.
