Part of the Memorial Garden, Almondbury The churchyard was laid out as a garden to commemorate the Festival of Britain in 1951. Many of these large grave slabs have been used as paving stones. They are of surprisingly uniform size, and some of them have 18C dates. Wormald Hall is in the background.
