Description
The walls of the Quaker burial ground, along with the remains of a building in the south-west corner, date from the 17th century and have undergone later repairs and restoration. Constructed of gritstone rubble, the wall stands approximately 1.5 metres high and encloses an area of about 35 metres square. The south wall is well coursed, with some rebuilding evident at the west end, where a blocked entrance to a building, likely a stable, is marked by quoins. In 1670, William and Edward Watkinson conveyed land to the Friends' Trustees for use as a burial ground in Matthew Garth, where members of the Watkinson family are interred. The site is included for its group value.
