This is Pinner church behind L'Orient restaurant at the top of the High Street. The church cemetery has a strange feature, the coffin in the sky, which is to the right of the picture hidden by the restaurant. The story goes that the Will stopped others receiving money so long as the will-maker was underground. The canny disinherited person(s) buried the deceased above ground in the middle of an obelisk and received their inheritance. You can see the obelisk and the projecting coffin from the pavement outside. The picture is in my next post.

The church pictured has a large hall adjoining it which has been used for activities such as Zumba classes.
