The New Graveyard, Heptonstall
This is in land given in 1911, enabling the churchyard, which is very full, to be closed to new burials in 1915. In this photo there is the grave of Sylvia Plath Hughes, the wife of the local poet Ted Hughes. She committed suicide at the age of 31.

Mourner statue in the churchyard, Heptonstall
This is a memorial for Simpson Bowes, who died in 1909 aged only 39, and his wife Minnie Dutton, who lived until 1940, aged 67. He was landlord of the White Horse Hotel in Hebden Bridge, and she carried on running the pub after his death. The White Horse closed in 1960 and was demolished in 1962. The site is now a car park and market place; I think it was in St George's Square. There is a photograph from behind the mourner under the Simpson Bowes entry in Malcolm Bull's Calderdale Companion website.
