Turn back to the main market place and head left making for St Marys Church in the nearest corner.  Pass the war memorial in the churchyard and find a Norman Doorway and continue on the path in front of the South Door. You will pass the base of a Saxon Cross then, on the North side of the Church, you'll find the grave of Julius Caesar Ibbetson, a 18th century local artist.  Go through the kissing gate at the rear of the graveyard, turn left and continue to Leaf 2 The Standing Tree in this field where sheep racing takes place at the annual Sheep Fair.
