It is an amazing church for such a small village, more a grouping of about a dozen houses with a disused railway station nearby.. A sign of where the money used to be I guess when wool and mining created great wealth. The building to the left is the 'hearse house' complete with stables, hence the tall door for horse access, all ready and waiting for the next 'customer'. Now an information centre.
Searching gravestones can be a frustrating process, especially when looking for the local equivalent of 'John Smith', up here its 'Robert Robson'. Luckily they tend to include helpful notes on the stones, like 'Robert Robson who died at Long Ridge Castle on ......' etc. Helps cut down on the wrong RR.
And that reminds me, rear nearside indicator wasn't working all the time. Dodgy earth me thinks, off to the garage.

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think!
