Full Description
Abraham Morrice, a prominent resident of 17th century Lincoln, bought land at Beaumont Fee in 1667, and gave it to the Society of Friends for their use as a burial gound. A meeting house was subsequently built on the site in 1689, with the building being opened in 1690 and registered in 1706 (see MLI87339). It is not clear whether any parts of the land continued in use as a burial ground after the meeting house was opened. {1}
