Society of Friends of Low Leighton, New Mills
Memorial Inscriptions
Elsewhere in the records there is a note that Thomas DALE was buried here in 1845. Although the meeting house was used from 1717 onwards I have not found a record of burials prior to the 19th century. The meeting house had its own carriage house - both are now private houses. R.C.
