Part of the High Street in Overton-on-Dee

Nice to see a traditional butcher's shop trading in a village, plus an open pub. Some shops have closed and the convenience store is currently on the market but Overton seems to be a thriving village.

An ancient Yew tree in Overton-on-Dee churchyard

This particular Yew tree may well be around 2,000 years old. (Let's assume 2012 for sake of convenience). The twenty-one Yews in the churchyard are all classed as ancient, except one planted by our present Queen on a visit in the last few years. The Yews are of course one of 'the Seven Wonders of Wales.'

The church of St. Mary the Virgin in Overton-on-Dee

A pretty and well kept church surrounded by its 21 ancient yew trees. A Christian religious site may well have existed here since the 5th or 6th century, initially in the form of a simple oratory, becoming a church building in the medieval period. The use of this spot for religious purposes may well even pre-date the advent of Christianity.
