Emmanuel, Holcombe churchyard
In the seventeenth century, a chapel stood on the site of the present church. Measuring just 50 by 24 feet, it was later enlarged in 1774.
The chapel once stood near the south-west corner of today’s church, its foundations now lost to time. Beyond the churchyard wall, at the crest of the adjacent field, stood the rectory-a quiet sentinel overlooking the sacred ground. Scattered throughout the churchyard, beautifully weathered 18th-century graves add to the site’s rich sense of history.

St Leonard’s Churchyard, Old Langho, Lancashire A rare church from the reign of Queen Mary I The Old Church at Langho was completed in 1557, making it a true rarity, as very few churches were constructed during the reign of Mary I (1516-1558).

The churchyard of St. Wilfrid’s, Standish was such a pleasant surprise. I knew I was in for a treat with the market cross and medieval stocks just outside the grounds, but I wasn’t prepared for the wealth of 18th-century gravestones within! To my delight, I even discovered, not one but two, dating back to the 17th century-a true gem amidst the history.

The early church records were lost in a fire, but it is thought to date back to 1614. The surrounding graveyard holds a wealth of information etched into its many stones. Those of you who follow me know how much I love 18th century stones and this burial ground didn’t disappoint, even though the sat nav sent me to three different locations before I finally found it!
Visit the churchyard of St Mary, Kirkby Lonsdale with Deborah Contessa

In the quiet churchyard of St Mary’s in Kirkby Lonsdale lie ten remarkable monuments, each a relic of history, all honoured with Grade II listings. The weathered stones, aged by centuries, tell stories of lives long past, marked by the elegance and symbolism typical of 18th-century gravestones - a time when funerary art held a distinct gravitas that I find utterly captivating. To the east of th...

Ingleton is a village nestled in the Yorkshire Dales. Many of the oldest gravestones, which once lay within the walls of the church itself, have since been moved to the perimeter of the burial ground. These early graves, some dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, were relocated during renovations and expansions of the church. Weathered by time, their inscriptions have become faint, yet th...
