Flanked by two tall yew trees and worn slightly below the level of the surrounding ground, this sunken east-west track once guided people from the graveyard's eastern entrance down to the door of a parish church. The church itself has entirely vanished. No stonework, no foundation outline, nothing above ground. What the 1840 Ordnance Survey six-inch map clearly depicted as a rectangular building with a square structure attached at its north-western angle had disappeared so completely that by the time the next edition of those same maps was produced, the building was simply gone from the record.

The story of what stood here is pieced together from a handful of sources. The Ordnance Survey Letters of 1841 noted that the walls of an older edifice, believed by local people to have belonged to the nearby abbey at Abington, were still standing just south of the Protestant church, outside the graveyard wall. Writing in 1907, the Reverend Seymour gathered what remained of local memory, recording that the old parish church was well remembered by people of the time even though every physical trace had already disappeared. His account drew on earlier descriptions: in 1784 the parishioners had recently installed a new east window, and Samuel Lewis, writing in 1837, called it a neat, small edifice without tower or spire. By 1870 a new church had been built on an entirely different site, taking with it the old font and the church plate, both of which remained in use.

The graveyard sits on a ridge above rolling pasture, with the Mulkear River valley visible roughly 75 metres to the south, and the setting gives some sense of why a religious community would have chosen this particular rise of ground. The sunken path between the yew trees is the most tangible thing left of the old arrangement, and it is easy to walk past without registering what it once connected. The font and church plate, mentioned by Seymour as surviving into the early twentieth century in the 1870 replacement church, are worth looking out for if access allows. There are no surface remains of the church building itself to search for.
