What is recorded here
Grave Yard at Louth Hall is a circular burial ground on a small hillock, preserving a curved boundary that may have marked sacred earth before any church appeared. The missing building does not weaken the place; it redirects attention to the dead, the soil and the patience of the field. You can still picture hands cutting graves, carts passing nearby and people returning through seasons to remember.
Rectangular shaped graveyard (map dims. c. 42m NW-SE; c. 22m E-W) with remains of church (LH017-021001-) in N half. A number of 18th century graveslabs noted when inspected by ASI in 1966.
