SK0085 : New Mills Quaker Burial Ground
taken 8 years ago, near to Low Leighton, Derbyshire, England
New Mills Quaker Burial Ground
The meeting house itself is behind the house on the left. This is the original entrance beside the car park of the Hare and Hounds public house. Note the "Society of Friends" on the gatepost on the left.
New Mills Quaker Meeting House
Typical of independent-minded northern industrial towns, the first place of worship to be built in the New Mills area was the Quaker Meeting House on Low Leighton Road, built in 1717. It is now a private house and presumably the residents are not spooked by having gravestones in their garden. Note the rigid uniformity of these stones – an hallmark of Quaker burial grounds.
