Title: Richard Vennell Burial 1777
Post by: Madmax on Tuesday 20 February 24 19:42 GMT (UK)

Hi
I am looking for information on the burial of Richard Vennall in 1777/1778
His will gives him as from stone in oxney, but he was not buried there.
FindMyPast has an entry for a burial of a Richard Vennall at Rye Baptist Church in 1777, does anyone have a transcript or copy of this register to see if it contains any further information and where is the Baptist burial ground and do any grave stones exist there?
Many Thanks

The burial record transcription has this Note: "Mr. of Stone".
Description: Baptist

That seems to confirm that it is the correct person, would be nice to know where the baptist cemetery is/was located. I am not sure if Baptists were allowed to have their own cemetery or needed to use parish church burial grounds.
