Also visited the final resting places of Anne Lister and Ann Walker. It’s a shame they’re not together after being together against all the odds of the time ☹️
Anne Lister is interred at Halifax Minister and her memorial stone was found during renovation works in 2000. They don’t know exactly where she’s buried in the minister, but they know the general location. Apparently there are plans to make a replica of her memorial stone, which as you can see from photo is damaged.
Ann Walker is buried at St Matthews old church, Lightcliffe. She was buried under the pulpit of the church, but the church was was demolished in the 1970’s. The grounds are maintained by an organisation called Friends of the Friendless Churches. There is an official plaque in the church yard but someone has marked the spot where the pulpit would have been ❤️
