The Old Church at Stalling Busk was built around 1722 and was replaced by the new church in 1909. About 750 people are buried in the churchyard. Semerwater is the lake in the background.

The grave of Edward, Margaret and William Hebden and also George Hodgson Hebden. The Metcalfe family were prominent in the area, and intermarried with the Hebdens

 The Headstone of the grave of Mary Hebden (died October 31st 1889) and George Hebden of Stalling Busk  (died April 1903). Most of the inscriptions are legible but marked with Lichen

The grave of James Hebden and his wife Betsey, against the wall of the Old Chuch at Stalling Busk. The grave is surrounded by an iron fence, and the headstone is in very good condition. Thwaite is a small village about 10 miles north of Stalling Busk.

 

St. Peter's Church, Hebden

The church is sited on the hillside just off the main street through the village.

In St. Peter's churchyard is this imposing headstone marking the grave of Robert and Drusilla Hebden and their son Robert who died November 7th 1882 aged 24.

In the long grass is this headstone dedicated to William Henry Hebden (b.1852) and his wife Eleanor Ann who died aged 36.

This Sussex Churchyard is the last resting place of many of the Hepden family, who lived in Burwash for generations.
