Mystery deepens around abandoned Greater Manchester graveyard after sudden appearance
The mystery surrounding the ownership of a Roman Catholic graveyard last used in 1940 has deepened after new security gates were fitted. As highlighted by the MEN last week, history enthusiast Craig Ellis voiced safety fears over how the Barton Upon Irwell Roman Catholic Graveyard was easily accessible and was being used as a drugs den.
Craig, a 52-year-old IT consultant, has conducted extensive research into the background of the overgrown graveyard and has been unable to establish who owns it or who is responsible for its upkeep. The 30 metre by 30 metre cemetery was formerly owned by the de Trafford family, who were big landowners around Peel Green for hundreds of years.
“The main issue is the cemetery is abandoned and needing repair…People use the site to drink alcohol and take drugs, which is very disrespectful, especially as Catholic priests are buried there. “You’d think someone would want to tidy it up and look after it,” he said. “It’s such a sad situation.”
