Very small (16m2) and old cemetery with four huge tomb lids.
They are made of sandstone and therefore affected by the weather and unreadable.
Above one of the tomb lid hangs a stone plaquete on the wall of the church.
This honors a German pastor who preached here 66 years.
The pastor was born August 25, 1773 and died February 3, 1860, but if he is buried here, I do not know.
The property is walled and is accessed by a metal fence.
Although this area is German the text on the wall is in Dutch and reads:
"By grace of his wretchedness Lodewyk R. Earl of Bentheim and Steinfurth. May 9, 1805."
City, Town, or Parish / State / Country: Wilsum, Niedersachsen, Germany.
