Whitburn, churchyard

Prior to its extension in 1868 the churchyard was roughly rectangular, with the church set close to the centre of the north side. The 1868 extension was to the north of the church. The oldest monuments lie on the south side of the church - mostly 19th century headstones and tombstones, but a few 18th century stones, some broken or badly decayed. In the eastern half of the 1868 extension there are late 19th century and 20th century gravestones. The western side is as yet unused and ridge and furrow earthworks survive here. LOCAL LIST
