  • None recorded

Full Description

According to the Raithby Church Terriers, the site known as the 'Old Churchyard' and 'The Quaker Burial Ground' belonged to the church. For it to be described in 1606 as 'old' implies that the site was of some antiquity at that time. It has been pasture or 'rough mow' as described in the terriers of the 1600s right up until the 1960s. The land is now disused. The site of Wood House lies slightly to the east. {1}{2}
