Churchyard cemetery and extension of St Bartholomew's church, Longnor.
The churchyard around the church building has only a handful of gravestones, and along the south west side has houses directly overlooking the graves.
The cemetery was extended in 1891 across the road to the north of the church. A stone near the entrance reads -
