St John the Evangelist and Old Stanmore Church Churchyard (also known as Great Stanmore Parish Church)

Introduction

The churchyard contains the ruins of the old brick church of St John the Evangelist, built in 1632, and the new church, which was built in 1850 when the old church was too small and also found to be unsafe. The parish had strong connections with the many local dignitaries with estates in the area, to whom there are notable monuments in the church and churchyard.
