St Mary's Churchyard, Hendon (also known as Hendon Parish Church, St Mary's and Christ Church)

Introduction

The large churchyard has a number of fine monuments and trees including yew and cedar. In his history of Hendon in 1890 E Evans notes the earliest surviving grave as that of Thomas Marsh, 1624; he describes the churchyard's pretty location and trees shading the graves, a scene little changed today.
