Sent on Behalf of Debbie Langley:
Dear All
We have had a pre-FEP enquiry from Natural England regarding a very small (0.014ha) Baptist burial ground, which is located in the corner of one of the farmer’s fields. It is located in the uplands of North Staffordshire. Within the burial ground are two gravemarkers one of which is inscribed “Died the 17 of March 1687”. It was apparently last used in 1780, although it is marked (as disused) on the First Edition 6” OS map. There are also the remains of a stone-built wall enclosing the burial ground. We have several Quaker burial grounds recorded at a similar date, but none of these survive except as field names on tithe maps.
I was therefore wondering if anyone had anything similar, particularly in a rural context? I have some photographs which I can send if anyone is particularly interested.
Thanks
Debbie
