Churchyard gate and stile, Somerford Keynes The gate looks quite new, but there was probably some sort of gate here in the past, as it would not be seemly for the vicar to use a stile as he came from the vicarage through the small gate. Why then the stile for a public footpath that enters the churchyard here? Perhaps the gate was locked.
