13/157 Group of tombstones c.50 metres north- west of Dairy Bridge
GV II
Tombstones of various dates. Cut stone. The most important is a recumbent coped slab, probably C12, with an expanded-arm cross on one face and a pair of shears on the other. A few metres to the west is a small group of headstones, mostly broken or fallen, of C17 and early C18 date; few are legible.
The group is included for historical interest in marking the site of the medieval church of Rokeby, replaced by the present St. Mary's Church (q.v.) in the mid C18.
