 This was all very difficult to see as in recent years the whole copse was completely overgrown, but due to the efforts of the parish council and the Shotesham Gardening and Conservation group, the area has been cleared and replanted and the ruin consolidated for public viewing.For the first time in centuries, the former graveyard has a welcoming sign and gate.It is thought to have been lost as part of a dispute between Henry VIII and the Abbot of St Benet, who held the living of the church, and St Martin's.
