Graveyard

What is recorded here

Grave Yard at Louth Hall occupies a narrow strip beside its present church, yet the older circular memory still lingers in the land. The earliest marked stone appears in 1679, but human hands may have laid dead there long before ink touched marble. The missing church does not disappear; it withdrawns into soil, shadow and time, waiting for someone to stop walking and listen.
Sub-rectangular shaped graveyard (map dims. c. 76m x c. 40m) with present church in W half. Earliest marked gravestone (LH018-064012-) dates to 1679 but the graveyard was probably in use for sometime before this date (Faulkner and Ross 1992, 446).
