A View of the Churchyard by F Slights.

This photograph was taken by F. Slights of Pocklington and published as a postcard c1900-1910.
All the visible gravestones have been identified and allocated a letter.

Names and dates derived from the tombstones identified on the photograph above have been listed below. Where these are now unreadable, use has been made of the entries in the Monumental Inscriptions booklet for Bishop Wilton (published in 1991) produced by the East Yorkshire Family History Society.

The information is provided for those without access to Bishop Wilton Churchyard whose ancestors might be identified. It is also a way of building up genealogical information about a group of former residents.

Where there is already material on this site about the people listed you can click on the link provided by the alphabetic id. Additional pages will be added as new information becomes available.

If you have information about any of the people listed or if you want to declare yourself to be a descendant, please contact us.
