Place & story
A gable and a memorial plaque
The 2015 Maighne heritage assessment describes Carbury’s walled graveyard below the castle. Only the western gable of its church survived, built in coursed limestone beneath heavy render and carrying a small round-arched bellcote, considered a later addition. A plaque dated 1705 commemorating members of the Colley family was mounted inside, south of the doorway. [2]
The eastern mausoleum
An eighteenth-century mausoleum occupies the church’s former eastern end. The assessment records two further plaques there commemorating Colley family members. The graveyard also contains table tombs and headstones with legible dates spanning the eighteenth to twentieth centuries, preserving several forms of remembrance within the same enclosure. [2]
