Full Description
Cemetery recorded by Rev Cardew in 1864.
"... Within the recollection of many persons living, two more (in addition to HLM 004 & 005) ancient cemeteries have been met with in this parish, on land belonging to Mr Tollemache, but there being no one here at the time to call attention to the matter, they passed almost unnoticed. One was .... (see Misc, CRN 11162). The other was on a slight rising in the valley, on land in the occupation of Mr Birch, half a mile from the Church. In both these instances the human remains were so numerous as to require a cart for their removal .... They were met with in operations in connection with the making of a road, and I need not say, irrecoverably destroyed" (S1)(S2).
