A Graveyard

There is an old graveyard in a field near the Milehouse.  It is surrounded by a stone wall and a ring of beech trees.  The really old graves have no tombstones but the newer ones date back to 1780.  No one has been buried in it for about sixty years.  The graveyard is round in shape.

Name:  George Lett.
