Location

The church of The Blessed Virgin Mary at Charlcombe is Norman in origin, although restored in 1861 by Sir Gilbert Scott.

The graveyard is on all four sides of the church and downhill from it is a ‘quiet garden’ and the site of the holy well. The garden contains some benches with dedications. More recent memorials, including plaques, are on the western side of the church.

A map from 1901, when an extension to the churchyard for 78 new plots was proposed, showed the presence of 186 surviving memorials.
