We started restoring the churchyard 5 years ago and now have 11300 records of those buried. We are now trying to write up stories of some of the people buried here. Try About the churchyard>people of interest to see slow progress.
The burial search facility has a blip at the moment, just ignore the GEO code error each time. There’s a John Sykes and Sabina listed as gardeners.
Please make contact via our website email if you’ve time.

This is probably far too late. Charlotte Lucretia Francina Radcliife’s parents and her brother William Towne Radcliffe were buried in a large chest tomb in a very prominent position in St Matthew’s Churchyard, Lightcliffe Halifax. Our website lightcliffechurchyard.org.uk will give some detail.
There is a connection to the Holmes family who welcomed Moravians and John Wesley.

Cheshire / Re: School in Oldfield, Dunham Massey

I'm looking at Mark Dawson who was a mayor of Bradford. In 1881 census his address was Oldfield, Dunham Massey. At the time of death, his address is given as Harefield, 1884.
I'm guessing the two names might refer to the same house?

He is buried with his two wives in Lightcliffe, Halifax. Inscribed "of Dunham Massey"
