Visit St Mary’s Churchyard, Prestwich, Greater Manchester, with The Cemetery Lady
St Mary's Church was built on high ground within a roughly circular area, and the word Prestwich is Old English for "dwelling of the priest" both indicative of Anglo-Saxon Origins. The earliest documented evidence however dates form the 12 Century.
The Church and churchyard have expanded over the centuries, I was thrilled to see stones dating back to the 1600’s!

@@johnosgraveyardjaunts2235 often, they are laid down before they fall down. Many old gravestones are set down flat (often to form a walkway) where they are sadly no longer marking the actual burial site.
