Churchyard cemetery at All Saints' church, Loughborough.

"There are almost one thousand tombstones in the churchyard of All Saints, Loughborough. The earliest individual surviving stone is in memory of William Hubbard, an fronmonger, buried in 1690, while the latest ones occur in the 1850s, the first burial in the Municipal Cemetery on Leicester Road taking place in 1857. The stones no longer mark the resting places of the Geparted since they were reset around the perimeter of the churchyard, as paving round the curtilage of the church and within the Rectory Garden in the 1960s. Poor Richard Donisthorpe could not have foreseen this, when he caused to be erected over his wife's grave a stone ‘to Perpetuate the memory and to Preserve Undisturbed the Remains of Mary’ - she departed this life in 1797.

The original positions of the vaults and stones - some of which were placed inside the church - indicate that the inscriptions were also meant to be read by the passer-by."
