Below is part of larger maps showing burial plots in the Old and New parts of the Cemetery at the west end of the village. Maps and index may be viewed and downloaded as pdf files. Burials in the cemetery date from 1897.

St. Nicholas' Church Monumental Inscriptions

A listing was drawn up by J.B. Williams on July 16th and 17th 1912 and is located at the Yorkshire Archeological Society, Leeds.

(The society has kindly permitted the Husthwaite Local History Society to reproduce this list in an updated form and allow it to be included on this website.)

After careful examination of each grave, this list has been amended and updated (2011) . Many of the inscriptions have deteriorated or disappeared since 1912 as indicated by notes. The original numbered plan of the churchyard, although rather inaccurate, is included since this gives a rough guide to the location of the graves. A list of cremation memorials has also been added.

Baptisms at St Nicholas' Church

After a lot of detailed work, a list of all the baptisms in St Nicholas' church has now been transcribed from the original church register starting in 1854. The spreadsheet will be of great help to those researching their ancestors from both Husthwaite and Carlton Husthwaite. Apart from the names of the parents, child and person performing the ceremony, after 1873, the date of birth was recorded in addition to the date of baptism. The father's occupation and, after 1990, the occupation of the mother are also included. Addresses are also given in more detail after about 1955. These records provide an interesting insight into changing professions and size of family.

Following advice for the Diocese and the Borthwick Institute we are able to publish on-line any records up until 100 years ago. This file may be downloaded here

For baptisms and births after 1913, more limited information is available to up to 30 years ago from family history websites such as www.thegenealogist.co.uk.
