Place & story
The square burial ground
Nurney’s graveyard occupies a roughly square enclosure, about 40 metres across, bounded by a stone wall. The National Monuments Service records eighteenth-century grave markers as its earliest legible memorials. The first-edition Ordnance Survey map of 1838 places a church in the southern part of the burial ground, but the inventory found no surviving surface trace of that building. The map evidence does not establish when the church was built or lost. [2]
