Church History

This Cemetery or Burial Ground was founded in 1658, though it is now closed, but we don't yet know when.

This burial ground adjacent to Dell Farm was given to the Quakers by Thomas Lovejoy. The site is now Grade II Listed - see the British Listed Buildings website for details. The plot is surrounded by a drystone wall of limestone, and measures about 17 x 10 metres. As can be seen from our first photograph, there is a sign indicating it is the "Quaker Burial Ground 1658". "A very valuable survival, well away from normal access in the area". See also the Friends Meeting House in Painswick, in this database.
