Barrowby

We went on the hunt to find Sentance family's grave at All Saints church, Barrowby in Lincolnshire.


Very nice small village, in middle of nowhere. Nice church too, very peaceful!








I was hoping to find grave of Frances and Valentine.. nope not there - possible the headstone was broken years ago??

found a few headstone relate to Sentance, it was buried under the nettle field.. Luckly I got jean on and some were flowering already.

Note to self.. go on grave headstone hunt in Autumn when flowers/nettles have gone!!
