Latitude: 54.00991873685254, Longitude: -1.4717334508895874 | Click to get directions to St. John the Baptist Churchyard, Knaresborough

Notes:
The gravestones in this churchyard were removed in the 1970s and consequently the few photos I have are only ones taken many years ago.

A closer view of the 2 Inman headstones 		A closer view of the 2 Inman headstones
Probably taken in 1931 or soon after - I suspect the mound on the left indicates a recent burial, and I suspect this was of my great grandfather John Inman whose name was subsequently added to the stone.
The photos were amongst those of my Goatham grandparents, who had a camera from the 1920s, and what more natural than that they should take a photo of my grandmother's father's grave (also her grandparents, though she would not have known her grandmother and may not have known her grandfather well)  		 Not yet located    Alec Richard CAWOOD (d. 13 Sep 1905)

It appears that at first Isaiah occupied a grave next to that of his sister-in-law, who was then joined by her husband Philip, Isaiah's brother.
However, at some point after the burial of Isaiah's nephew John in 1931 the inscription at least has been moved to the gravestone on the left - and I guess removed the gravestone on the right.  		 Not yet located    Frederick ("Fred") INMAN (d. 18 Apr 1914)

My great grandfather (John Inman) and his parents Philip and Sarah; also Philip's brother Isaiah.

This is an unusual stone in that all 3 of the men on the stone were remarried after being left a widower, but of their 6 wives it would appear only one is buried with them.
Philip's second wife, Hannah, was younger and remarried after his death - she was probably buried with her 2nd husband.
John's first wife was buried in Margate where they lived at the time of her death. He returned to Yorkshire to live with his second wife in Harrogate. I don't know where she was buried - maybe there was no room in this grave or she was added after this photo was taken.
I don't know why Isaiah was not buried with either of his wives, both of whom pre-deceased him, or if he was, why no inscription records it. His second wife may have been buried with their son who died in childhood; maybe there was no room for a 3rd burial.  		 Not yet located  [Gravestones removed from burial plots in the churchyard in (I think) the 1970s]   Sarah CRAVEN (d. 18 Jan 1879)

The Inmans plot 		The Inmans plot
Philip and Sarah Inman (2 x gt grandparents of mine) and their family - their 2 sons, a great grandson and a brother of Philip and I suspect more were buried in this plot.
I think the ground in the grave on the left is in a rounded mound, such as occurs after a recent burial. I suspect, therefore, that the photo was taken soon after John was buried in the plot in 1931, so soon that his name had not been added to the gravestone. 		 Not yet located    Alec Richard CAWOOD (d. 13 Sep 1905)
