Thanks

There is a small graveyard which belonged to the Ebenezer Wesleyan chapel a few feet up the road from the Quakers Yard Inn 'Mill street' it used to be called but it is known as 'Mill Rd'... Up until 2 years ago you could still go in there however is was very dangerous as the stones and everything else for that matter were sinking and the whole graveyard is covered in Knot weed. My friend and myself used to go in there every year to see had deteriorated from the year before, Is is no longer tended and hasn't been for a very long time..which is a shame as every headstone tells a story especially when the entire family is in the same plot..Real history! I'm gutted it's been left to rot but as there were no living relatives the council don't have to keep it to a good standard. As I said up until 2 years ago you could still access it from the road but Brian who lives by the side of it has now barricaded all entrances and padlocked the gates to get in...however he did say that if my friend and I wanted to go in again he would open the gate for us.
