The graveyard at Wharton Church is waterlogged
The graveyard at Wharton Church is waterlogged I know this is distressing to families with loved ones at rest there, said Cllr Pardoe, whose gran is buried at this cemetery. It is really sad. Myself and Cllr Joanne Moorcroft have talked with Rev Tim Hanson. It is a challenge because of the drainage, we will talk to council officers about the technical issues. The local community is now rallying round to help each other.

He asked if one of them could go to a nearby shop and get him some cigarettes, the volunteer would get 2d for going. Eliza being a helpful girl, volunteered. She went and bought the cigarettes, and when she returned with them, Phipps asked her to show him where a man called Hulse lived, Eliza knew Hulse as the local lamplighter from Ledward Street, again, the ever-friendly Eliza agreed. It was 7.30pm when they were last seen walking along the footpath in Ledward Street. The vibrant, fun-loving Eliza Warburton was last seen near Wharton church by a neighbour.
