**Stanford Bishop Church Stone** submitted by hamish : Stone seen from the side. (Vote or comment on this photo)

This Stone is on the right of the gate leading into the Churchyard. One of the features of this Churchyard is that it is round. Could this have been an ancient Henge or even a stone circle with this Stone and possibly a companion the entrance?

In the churchyard is a very old Yew tree authoritatively estimated at 1200 years. Inside the Church is a very old chair said to be the one that St Augustine was seated at the second Synod AD 603. (Probably not authentic)
