Martin Nicholson's Cemetery Project
St John the Baptist, Eastnor, Herefordshire
It is believed there has been a church
building at Eastnor on the present site since the 12th Century, though it is
possible that an earlier wooden Saxon church building would have existed
somewhere in the area. There was certainly a Saxon church building at Ledbury,
just over two miles away.
