This is an old quarry called 'The Stone Hole' and you may notice the top of the church tower showing above the rock face. The dark shadow in the lower right-hand corner of the rock face is the entrance to a small man-made cave and the rock used to build the church came from this quarry.

This used to be the windmill on Windmill Hill until the wooden superstructure was burned down in 1945. The stone base remains and has recently been converted into a viewing platform which, at the time of writing is open only on Sundays for part of the year.
