St Mary the Virgin and St John the Baptist, Newtown, Berkshire

Newtown is an odd little place, not seeming to have much of a real identity. It's situated on the more or less southerly road out of Newbury, as you head in the south coast direction. I'm afraid the graveyard doesn't really offer an awful lot of interest, other than stream running through it and, most notably, an absolutely massive yew tree, which must easily be 12 feet (4 metres if you're that way inclined) in diameter at its base. I can't see how such an ordinary little church can deserve such a grand name!
