The megalithic history of this site turned up as a surprise when part of the church wall collapsed around the turn of the millennium, revealing a pair of standing stones. These now stand either side of the main gate, christened St Peter and St Andrew (naturally - since it is the Church of St Andrew and St Peter). The site is mentioned in Julian Cope's "The Modern Antiquarian", where he refers to the possible pre-Christian nature of the circular churchyard.
