Whilst you’re talking about St Helen’s Church, Stubob, you might want to mention the Sheila-na-Gig inside the church, the Celtic carvings in the porch, and the bizarrely carved tombstones in the graveyard, which include pentacles and skull-and-crossbones. The yew-tree is indeed very ancient, and was old when the builders of the church rested under it’s shade.
Is there any reason that ‘St Helen’s’ churches often have a prehistory connection, such as being built on a neolithic earthwork or have standing stones? Or is it just me?
Sorry, I don’t know what your markers are Stubub, but I’ll look out for them when I’m next that way (I live near Matlock).
