Introduction
The early burials were in the northern part and are not marked with gravestones, although its use for burial is recorded on a wall plaque. The burial ground to the south that was given by Sarah Angell in 1824 has simple rows of headstones set among the grass and a row of yew trees along one boundary, with other trees and shrubs. The uniformity and simplicity of gravestones in Quaker burial grounds reflects the Quaker philosophy of equality.
