What a beautiful cemetery,lovely surroundings and fascinating graves and as a lovely feeling when your walking around it,a shame the church wasn’t open,I would have loved to have a wander around it but maybe next time.
A lovely little church in a lovely setting. It's on top of a hill which is quite steep. But if you can make it to the top, the church is a welcome sight. Not sure about the old stocks where naughty people were put, but at adds to the charm of Whiston and the church. Once your back down the hill there are some nice pubs to choose from.
Lovely well maintained Churchyard and church
Grandparents buried there. I always visit when I'm in England. I was born Treeton and live in Canada now.
The very first church that I drove a wedding car to 16 years ago. Still doing it.
