What is recorded here

Grave Yard at Louth Hall holds a sub-triangular patch of land fifty metres wide, with church remains still visible at its northern edge. The earliest dated tombstone appears there in 1682 for William and Sara Orson, marking a place where ordinary people were remembered long before maps or museums arrived. The circular and angular descriptions may belong to different parts or changes of the same ground, yet the dead remain the clearest fact: a small burial place has watched Louth Hall through centuries of rain, forgetting and return.
