St Mary is a deconsecrated church, with its churchyard dating from the 17th century.
The
cemetery is in a gentle sloping location with magnificent views over
the village and the dales. The first interment was in October 1874 and
the cremated remains section was opened in 1969.
During
a memorial safety audit in 2000 there were found to be 499 memorials
and 72% [360 memorials] were considered to be unsafe and laid down.
Restoration of many of these will commence in 2008 thanks to HBC
working in cooperation with the Probation Service.
