My nan, grandad and big brother are buried in the churchyard in the picture above. They are buried where you can see the flowers at the end with the christmas wreaths and on the right of them, there is a big empty patch which is suppose to be where all of the black death victims are buried. And also in the 1950s/60s Mr and Mrs Neil owned a lot of searby and where the big mannor house is they owned that for many years and Mr Neil is buried just outside of the house. Hope that cleared up the questions about the black death. :) It is true about the black death in searby. My nan, grandad and big brother are buried in the churchyard in the picture above.

There's a coped stone with a cross in the churchyard which is circa 14th century - it was used in the early 18thc as a gravestone for the wife of a parish clerk - I wonder if people think that may be it We could have another myth like the <a href="http://www.rodcollins.com/wordpress/skull-cross-bones-gravestone-in-stallingborough-lincolnshire" rel="nofollow">Pirate's Grave</a> here. Worth checking out I think - nice find HH Best Rod HH,

'No' was the answer. And then he told me that he was told by an ex-clergy of the parish that there were grave markers still in the churchyard for victims of the Black Death! Considering there has been a church on site since 1441 there has been many opportunities over the years for outbreaks of various plagues and diseases. The Black Death was first recorded in Britain in the 14th Century, which decimated the population of Europe. It allegedly killed over a quarter of the population of the whole world. It has returned on a few occasions since, including in 1603. So with as many as 60% of Europe dying during the initial outbreak and it lasting for many years with each subsequent outbreak, it wouldnt surprise me in the slightest if there are burials in the churchyard.
