What are some of the dates on these graves? Gotta know how long it took to look like this.
Nice work!
Blimey, that's been left a while! Looks in the first pic that there's a tended area, and an unkempt area?
Great pics as always BS!
I remember the chapel that once stood at the end of the path in the first shot; must be at least 20 years ago.
I have passed this location many times on my way to Gt. Yarmouth, but I have no idea what kind of graveyard it was. Great find. Good pictures.
Angel funnily enough the Earliest I could find was 1870. Hope that helps.
HISTORICAL NERD WARNING - I am about to make myself look extremely sad!!!
It is highly unlikely that there would be any graves dated pre 1870, as Catholics were not emancipated in Britain (i.e. it was illegal to be a Catholic) until the late 1840's and most communities did not have a Catholic church until the 1860's. To put this into perspective, Westminster Cathedral was not even started on until 1895, so with graves from 1870, this is a real piece of British Catholic history!!
Apologies for historical nerd moment

Blimey, that's well overgrown! Nice find and pics, Shucky. Love it.
Thanks maye I do love old churches and Grave Yards.Just noticed this matey. Very nice. I do love a knackered grave yard. Took my lass on our first five dates to different graveyards likt this. Its odd because some of the script on the tombs here are more in the 18th century style. Very nice Shuckster
