In the aftermath of the English Civil War of 1642-1651 Quakers (also known as the Society of Friends) were a dissenting Protestant group which rejected the authority of the established Church of England.
With views considered blasphemous, their leaders were persecuted and the burial of Quakers was not permitted in consecrated ground. This led to private graveyards being established. Quakers did not have churches but “meeting houses” for their congregations, and each had a burial ground. This one, overlooking the Aire Valley to the north of Bradford, is unusual in that there was no known Friends Meeting House in Idle.
According to the Thackley and Idle History website an early burial in 1690 was that of Jeremiah Yewdall, son of Zachary, whose death may well have prompted the latter to provide the land. The year 1690 is carved in stone above the gate. A 19th century historian, William Cudworth, concluded that “the Yewdalls gave the ground for this quiet resting-place, not only for their own family circle, but for others of the persuasion called Quakers.” He found that several other Yewdalls were buried there.
