Ha-ha and non-conformist cemetery. Ha-ha: mid- to late C18. Coursed
limestone rubble with moulded coping. Low wall to west of Sweeney
Hall (q.v.), turning at right-angles to east and then to south. In
south-west angle a low stone wall with ornamental wrought-iron railings
encloses non-conformist cemetery. This contains five recumbent grave
slabs: 2 are now illegible but one (re-lettered in late C19) has
inscription to Abigail Chetwood (died 1658) and a second a lead inscription
plate to A(n)ne Moston (died 1651). Another commemorates Thomas Baker
(died 1675), builder of the first Sweeney Hall (q.v.) in 1640, and who
offered refuge to members of the Congregational Church of Protestant
Dissenters.
