Another St.Mary's Church

While at Linslade we walked along the canal to Old Linslade to visit the picturesque St.Mary's church.















The lychgate (lych gate or lych-gate or lycugate, from Old English "lic" meaning corpse) is strangely positioned being in the middle of the churchyard - aren't they usually in the boundary wall?















There are some very interesting and elaborate gravestones too.
