Taking a look around Sampford Spiney Church. Which lies in a very small hamlet on Dartmoor. Renowned for witches in the area and ghosts that haunt the church
What a lovely Church ( shame so dark inside) love seeing a graveyard left to nature So sad Sarah ann and her sister Jane both died as spinsters wonder if they lived together in life and now rest together in death . Shazza have you checked out St Peters church in Buckland in the moor it is a wonderful church and the clock on the tower instead of having numbers has the wording My Dear Mother the lord of the manor had done on his mothers death also just up on Buckland tor he had the Ten commandments engraved on granite slabs well worth seeing if you havent already Thanks for another great video look forward to the next one.
Thanks Maggie, no I will have to check that one out, sounds lovely. Sarah Ann and Jane lived to good ages (80 and 96) but remained as spinsters. This, and their being buried in the same grave, may suggest they lived together, but this was not so; in fact the last census in which they are to be found together is in 1861 when, aged 28 and 22, they were still with their parents. Jane then lived at least until 1911 at Leewood, working as a dressmaker, whilst Sarah spent her life in service, with a different household at the time of each census, mostly in Devon but once in London. They may have lived togther in old age
